[PLUGIN] Touch Display

Have you tried to connect a keyboard to your device and press CTRL+F5 to clear the cache?

No i will try that thanks

Hi Wheaten,

because error when playing tital, try again to make a nwe fresh install
change the default pictures, and use the plugin Thouch Display
use CTRL F5 to clear the cache but on the screen of PC i see the right albumart picture on the display is see the normal picture

You did CTRL+F5 on the rPi that has the screen attached?

If yes and it fails in your case, then I can’t provide additional support.
I’ve tested it on 2 different devices.

yes i did

Strange that i have the same issue with RPI3b and i just bought the RPI4.
With Volumio version 4.119 it’s does not work with Volumio version 4.301 the same on the PC and 7,9 inch screen

You’ve replaced both:

/volumio/app/plugins/miscellanea/albumart/default.jpg
/volumio/app/plugins/miscellanea/albumart/default.png
  • Rebooted
  • cleared queue
  • pressed CTRL+F5 on your webbrowser (PC)
  • Connected keyboard to the rPi and pressed CTRL+F5.

If above doesn’t work for you I can’t help. As said did it on 2 different rpi’s and it worked.

Hi Wheaten,

Yes i replace
/volumio/app/plugins/miscellanea/albumart/default.jpg
/volumio/app/plugins/miscellanea/albumart/default.png

  • rebooted
    what do you mean by cleared queue?
  • i did delete complete history on my PC
  • did connect keyboard to the RPI and pressed CTRL +F5

I did test it with the RPI3b and RPI4 with Volumio version 4.119 it does not work
on the PC the right albumart on the 7,9 inch display the normal albumart

I did test is with the Volumio version 4.103 and on both PC and 7,9 inch the same picture
so that works did you test it with the 4.119 version?

Thanks

Tested with V3.143

Wheaton,

could you please test it with 4.119, i have tried several times, but earlier version than 4.119 works fine it seems that someting blocked it.

Thanks in advance

No I am not going to downgrade for an undocumented test, sorry for that.
You can always upgrade to the latest test version yourself :wink:

But I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with V4.119. Nothing has changed between these versions on this part.

Hello everyone, I’ve been having a problem for two days now that I can’t seem to resolve. The touch display plugin won’t install and always fails with an error. I’ve done a clean install of the latest version of Volume twice, but nothing works. Can someone please help me? I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 with 128GB MVNE storage. I’m not very experienced, so if you need more information, please let me know. Thanks everyone.

Please try to install plugin from PC web browse, not from mobile and try on fresh volumio image

So…I got my Freenove 5 in. touch screen working, (maybe Volumio will gift me a couple free months for figuring it out for them, LOL), with the help of various searches not the least of which was Google AI of all things. As far as I can tell there were a couple things you had to do. I am using the SC1967 carrier board, for anyone working with the CM5.

From what I understand you have to use DSI 1, DSI 0 will not work. (There was another problem I sorted out, but I found this in another thread for getting it to work with “piCorePlayer” and he had the same problem with DSI0, and the second problem I do not think was the issue with DSI0 as he could not get that port to work either. All explain at the end.)

First of all, the DSI1 will not work without the jumpers installed, which are located directly behind the DSI1 port and in front of the GPIO pins. It is clearly marked on the board. The second thing is, I was using a camera cable, which does not work, apparently. Fortunately I have and am now using the correct display cable. The camera cable was the other part of this puzzle, but I could have sworn that is what i was using before on the PI5…but anyway. It does not work because that was the last piece I was missing.

Now for the correct user config text

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi1
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtoverlay=rpi-ft5406

if using DSI1 or change it to DSI0 if using DSI0…apparently it may work with 0…but I’m not going to be finding out after all these months and finally getting it working!

So for DSI0 it would be

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi0
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtoverlay=rpi-ft5406

One other thing I found very helpful while changing the userconfig file over and over again, and failing LOL…I used FileZilla, instead of using Putty and SSH. I did use that to to check stuff, but it was a lot easier to make edits with FileZilla.

Just open the main Volumio file in FileZilla scroll down to the “boot” file, open that and then scroll down to “userconfig.txt” and open that with “Notepad” or similar and make the edits there. I’m going to make a back up and save it in my Volumio/Ian Canada streamer file on my PC! When you close the file it will ask if you want to save and then check FileZilla and it will have a dialog to upload it to Volumio.

There was a problem with the CM5 seeing the I2C controller or something the other. Also, with the SC1967 I had to add the last part of the config, I was getting a timeout error without that.

Anyway, it’s working now…for now?

Hopefully it keeps working?

As explained regarding DSI1…it seems to be an issue with the two MPI DSI/CSI connectors and for some reason DSI0 does not work…according to the thread I found for the PiCorePlayer.
