I still miss the log and are you sure you have installed the plugin correctly, as there are no entries for peppy in your asound.conf ```auto cd ~ mkdir ./peppy_screensaver wget https://github.com/2aCD-creator/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppy_screensaver.zip miniunzip peppy_screensaver.zip -d ./peppy_screensaver rm peppy_screensaver.zip cd peppy_screensaver volumio plugin install ``` ---

Hi - thanks for your quick response. Apologies, didnt realize you were asking for the entire log (its now attached below). I believe that I installed the plugin properly as it was working fine for over a year and I only just started having issues while nothing else in the setup changed. I tried once again this morning turning on the plugin, and it again worked fine for a few songs but then the entire thing became unresponsive - meters showed onscreen, but no movement, album cover art shows, but will not play and no buttons (play/pause, next, etc) react when clicked. Tried changing sources, but that does not help. Turned off the plugin, and everything went back to normal Thanks for your help [http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/kReMMHD.html](http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/kReMMHD.html) ---

For starters, try to load a smaller playlist, currently there are over 500 items. If tracks are no longer accesible, it might result in weird behavior. Just load an album from Qobuz for testing. At least your `asound.conf` is correct now. I don’t see anything concerning in the logs, besides the big load of tracks. ---

Yep - I think thats part (if not all) of my problem. Playing from Albums seeems to go OK, but when I try to play from tracks or playlists, is when the problems begin (only when peppymeter is turned on). Seems like I am out of luck then, since I dont want to remove favorites - may try deleting some playlists and see if that makes a difference Thanks again for trying to sort out ---

I assure you I was looking for several days, but I only found spatial info here and there. What you have posted is it possible to pin it somewhere? It would be very useful for future members and I thank you for this info! The thread is awfully long and too complicated! ---

Hi Rajiv, sorry for a late reply. The box that I have a 7.9" touchscreen display was built by my friend in Thailand and he gave it to me during my visit. There are only the display and RPi4 piggy backed to the display controller with some extensions cord to the back. Nothing fancy but it looks good with my other components. I wish I could help. BTW, it a wooden box. ![20230426_200004](https://community.volumio.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/b/4bc034bc2985de857d946ef79b8fbc3887955ec2.jpeg) ![20230427_084042](https://community.volumio.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/b/9b8c24a9872ded81317e116ab17d04bc2c9a96f4.jpeg) ![20230426_195937](https://community.volumio.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/8/c8f74e35eac6a3adde00f06c713fbcde7b600b15.jpeg) ---

Yes but in the file on de screen that you can see , it is not the same file as in de video. The meters.tx that he change are not in a standard Volumio setting, in the 1024 x 600 that i download is not a add file just a meters.txt. And i merge it with the meters.txt on the right site and i see the skins but no screensaver started. I replace the meters.txt from the right with de meters.txt from the left and thats nog working also . ---

Peppy meter itself will work, not depended on screen size. However you will not be able to run it in Full screen as there are no templates for 1280\*480. The closest is [1280\*400](https://community.volumio.com/t/peppymeter-templates-width-1280/59939) You can always try to create them [yourself](https://community.volumio.com/t/about-the-peppymeter-templates-category/59933).
