just googled it and found out that “spotify connect” (e.g. from my phone spotify app) sends the info in KHz and if i play the same song from the volumio spotify interface then it shows in kbps interesting…
anyway, BIG THANK YOU for all your kind help this evening!

Hi @dc2geeks
I have tried 1920x515 on 1920x1080 FHD screen, the PeppyMeter Screensaver works, but I cannot remove the “Now Playing” background ( black background like yours ).
Could you tell me how to do that ?
Do you set Volumio ( Now Playing interface ) resolution to 1920x515, too ?
thank you !
what i did was to set Volumio User Interface Layout Design to “Classic” and select background colour to black. You will get a semi black background [see pic below]. “Now Playing” plugin is not installed in my Volumio, perhaps you might need to disable it.
For the purpose of making this video, I had to use video editing software “VSDC Free Video Editor” to mask up the remaining UI above the screensaver.
@dc2geeks Thank you your info, I will try it later. I don’t use “Now Playing” plugin, instead I use @2aCD contemporary_advanced plugin.
I wonder if the vertical position of peppymeter can be adjusted, for example, put it at the lower half of the screen instead of center, then you can see both peppymeter and playing screen at the same time ?
@dewen , @dc2geeks
Currently, to move a 1920x515 skin up (to the top edge), you need to place the entire graphic on a blank 1920x1080 template (e.g. in Photoshop)
Hi @Gelo5
Thank you for your suggestion.
If I modify peppymeter’s /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/screensaver/peppymeter/config.txt
screen.width = 1920. <— default is empty
screen.height = 1080
Then screensaver will be at the top screen, but it will mask the lower half “now playing” area to black.
If I put the 1920x515 graph on 1920x1080 template as you said, will it show lower half now playing screen ( not mask it ) ?
The following is using @2aCD contemporary_advanced plugin with 1920x480, I shrink the upper area font, disable album art, only bar and title.
If there is a parameter can set the vertical Y position instead of default center it, it will be great! I remember saw a post about “special version” that put screensaver not in the center, but cannot find the post again…
