Good evening. Will there be skins for 1024x600?

2911

They will. All resolutions will be there. It takes a lot of time. Be patient, use it without spectrum for now

Hi, I am using both:-

(1) 7.9” WAVESHARE touchscreen LCD with HDMI (much preferred) input for 400 x 1280 (same as Gelo5) and

(2) 55” TCL 4K LED TV for 1980 x 1080 format

to display the screensaver

Hello ,
One question pls .
1 Have you ordered directly from wavehsare or from aliexpress /
2. What shipment method had you used /

Thanks

2915

Waveshare direct from waveshare or from your local market (The price is approximately 80-100 USD ). Other monitors from Aliexpress

Remember: order HDMI!

It was ordered from WAVESHARE shipped via airfreight

Thanks a lot ! It fixed the Spotify click problem.

Just a quick test, I found @Gelo5 Spec&Met-720 1920x1080
102G5_Sansui S+M, only meter works, but no spectrum.
I remember it works in the previous 2.0.0 beta ?

If I turn off Now Playing plugin ( 0.5.6 ), the 120G5_OldPipe Spectrum runs much better in Pi 4.

There must be some setting wrong in my “Now Playing” pluginsetting, it seems take a lot of CPU usage ( > 100% ), after some modify ( set to default…ect ), everything seems normal… still trying to find what setting cause the problem.

Interesting observation , I will try also with peppyapectrum .

FIX - Please overwrite the entire folder (template spectrum) - 1920x1080
templates_spectrum 1920x1080.zip (6.6 MB)

Old folder - delete it

Edit: it’s already changed in the download section

Hello,
Sorry I didn’t explain the issue since I was replying to an older thread.
I have a Volumio 3.6 installed on Allo USBridge Signature device, and I added the PeppyMeter screensaver v1,5.0 zip following the instructions on this forum. The skins are looking great, thanks for all that work.
The issue I was having was the song name didn’t get updated when the track changes. So it shows the first track correct, the it stays the name during playing the same album. To avoid this issue I was thinking why not keeping the existing volumio UI and use a lower resolution PeppyMeter folder to overlay on top of the UI. Then the problem of positioning arised, since the lower PeppyMeter will always show on top left corner of the screen, partially covering the UI.
So, to summarize I have 2 issues

  • the PeppyMeter skins (1920x1080 as provided with the 1.5.0 zip) do not update the track name during play
  • how to position a PeppyMeter skin when lower resolution the screen is used; it always show on top left corner.
    I hope this is not too confusing.
    Thank you,
    Sorin
