Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO

Volumio Development
2312

I have everything set up as in your screenshots. However, Peppy starts after 3 minutes? I thought it was the Now Playing plugin’s fault, but even though I turn it off, Peppy works after about 3 minutes?

2313

can you please start a putty session and type:

journalctl -f

then play a song and look after your screensaver timout, if you have an error in console.

@2aCD
Can you answer? Just YES or NO is enough

Hi!
I tried to install Peppy_Sreensaver_beta on a fresh new installation of Volumio 3.569 but it failed. I followed the the steps given in post 7. I could see that some config file where missing.
I deleted all files and went back to 1.3.0 and installaton worked just as it should.

@Gelo5
I don’t understand what you mean exactly. I have no access to audio files and tags directly. I can only evaluate title infos provided by Volumio.

2317

OK, I understand the problem. Next questions:

  1. Is it possible to add separate colors for: artist, album, title, etc.
  2. is it possible to add a separate “maxwidth” for artist, album, title?
  3. If the text is long (e.g. title), scrolling was from right to left. Now it’s left-right, right-left.
    then after 2-3 scrolls - stop - starting from the left
    TY

hi 2aCD…wanted to thank you for all your work; :slight_smile: it’s great that you’ve found some time again :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

what i would like to see is if your plugin could work together with the dsp plugin, that would absolutely be a great extension, and some would be very happy. balbuze had already tried to talk to you about it…i think with both of you together, the problem should be solvable :slight_smile:

best regards

I think the first and second point is possible. The third point I’ll check.

Hi Aiello
I have to see how the dsp plugin works to be able to say whether both plugins can be used at the same time.

OK, thank you for the info. Next question: is it possible to add a mask (.fgr) for the entire screen? To cover e.g. cdcover ( photo in a circle, rhombus or square with rounded corners)?

2324

Welcome back! It would be awesome if this could be launched as an official plugin :pray:

Hi, this is a thread about Peppymeter. Peppyspectrum has a separate thread: PeppySpectrum - The plugin!
There is no resolution for this yet, but it will be…

Hi Gelo5, step by step, not to fast :wink:
Yes theoretical it is possible to add a new layer with a mask for albumart. You need then a separate png with transparency.
I have note that to my list.

I have check out the problem between peppy screen and fusionDSP and find the reason and solution.
I’ll publish it with the next beta.

Just one more: Peppymeter + Peppyspectrum (Sorry)

  • Abilty to activate Peppy via GPIO, so you can use a button to switch between “Now playing” or Peppy :slight_smile:
