Updating to V3.733 is working again
It would be nice if the screen saver background image supported GIF animations
I have the same screen but it doesn’t fill the entire screen. Is there a setting I’m missing?
As you already knew, I had the same problem with a PCM 1794 DAC.
I have now replaced it for an Ian Canada ess mk2 dac…same problem.
I bought a Pink Faun USB DAC last Sunday, it works with only Peppy and Spotify integration, but not with Fusion DSP.
I also have a khadas tone1 and it works well with peppy meter.
So Peppymeter probably has problems with different types of da Converters or reclocker in between and doesn’t like upsampling.

Sorry @michel8166 but Khadas tone 1 is compatible with Rip5 or only Khadas Sbc?
It is seen as an internal Dac by volumio on Rip5?
the khadas tone 1 It is considered USB by Volumio and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2/3 and 4, the Rasp 5, I don’t know.
the pink faun usb dac works peppy and spotify okay but not with FusionDsp and upsample.

Sorry for the total Noob question… just installed the plugin and it’s running. But this is all I have in the Settings section.
Would you mind sharing your work for the round VU meters with amber light? They are EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for!
you did install Peppy_Meter as plugi taken from:
As for the round VU-meters, I think that question is for @Gelo5

Yes - followed that process and confirmed every step - is it possible I did the plugins (Touch and Peppy) in reverse?
Is there a beginner’s guide/tutorial on how create your own meters?
First, Touch Display and next Peppy.
Instructions:
So I’m on my 4th complete reinstall from scratch and keep hitting the same issue.
Fresh install of Volumio
Configure display and all other settings (WiFi, etc)
Everything works
Then install Touch Screen Plugin - tested and works
Install Now Playing Plugin - tested and works
Install Peppy-Spectrum Plugin
Install Peppy Meters per Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO - #740 by ClaesM
Go into Peppy, pick a random option and boom - my screen goes dark and system hangs
Have to reboot and disable both Peppy Plugins to get display back.
Is there something in Now Playing/Touch Screen that has to be exactly matching for this to work? I feel like there’s settings that have to align in multiple places for this to work but I cannot figure out the “magic combination”
Sounds more that you loading templates that are not matching your screen size. As peppy and now playing is pretty straight forward.
So the display is the Waveshare 5.5 1920 x 1080 - that means only 1920 x 1080 (full screen) will work? I thought I have seen many people using Peppymeters overlaying Now Playing… Do you have to pick one or the other?
1920x1080 or smaller will work. Unless your meters.txt has errors, then Peppy will also load a black overlay.
Interesting. I’m using the stock files from both installs - have not touched anything.
I’m going to ditch the Waveshare and try on the other display - it literally works plug and play.
Have you tested Peppyscreen and Peppyspectrum at the same time? Disable one plugin - test on the other.
It might help if I actually understood the difference between the 2 and how they interact with Now Playing (and it’s Inactive Screen) and the timings between all of them and the Touch Screen Plugin.
I think there’s a hierarchy involved that needs to be respected and I’m not there yet 
What do you want to understand?
Now playing - standalone plugin,
Peppymeter screen saver - standalone plugin, Peppyspectrum - standalone plugin.
To connect e.g. Now Playing+ Peppymeter, the Peppymeter resolution must be smaller than the screen size. For example, the screen is 1920x1080, the resolution set on Peppymeter must be e.g. 1920x515, 1280x400, etc. The same applies to the Now playing+ Peppyspectrum connection.
