Fantastic - really appreciate the help.
These are probably dumb Texas Country Boy questions:
If Peppy is in fullscreen then the Inactive Screen in Now Playing is redundant?
What’s the difference between Peppy Screen Saver and Peppy Spectrum?
It doesn’t hurt to do a bit of reading in this topic…
Peppyscreen - plugin from @2aCD (also includes spectrum - 20 bars)
Peppyspectrum - plugin from @balbuze (different number of bars)
The basis of both is work @peppy.player

@Roberto_Grieco I replaced my Raspberry Pi 4 for a Pi5 and now everything works fine.
I haven’t changed anything else in the setup other than the raspberry.
how is this possible.
In this setup I no longer have to upsample via FusionDSP 
Spotify also works well with the old 4.0.5 Spotify version and the new 4.1.0. nice work 
what still needs to be done is "dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
" in the boot/userconfig.txt Because of this.
so with a raspberry pi3 and 4 it doesn’t work with peppy meter in my setup.

ian FifoPi Ma 1.5.

Trust me I have. Many of these topics are years old and bits are buried at various stages. I really appreciate the work, time and effort put into these community projects but as a paid service I think Volumio should “curate” them to some degree to make it easier for the more “casual” csutoemrs they have.
"most talkative and also most helpful in the topic: 
I updated to version 3.703 and PeppyMeter version 2.2.1 . Peppymeter works fine with Webradio, but the needles won’t move when listening to Spotify. It worked fine before the updates. Did I miss something?
Have you set up Spotify integration in Peppymeter?
Spotify - 4.1.0 (New ver)
Yes, I have. I can play music from Spotify, it’s just the meters that don’t move
What version of Peppyscreen did you upgrade from to 2.2.1? Did you do a clean installation?
It was a clean install
Hmmm, does it show: cover, artist, etc.? Does Peppymeter work properly on other sources? the only thing that comes to my mind - something either in the settings (Alsa)
or something was loaded incorrectly.
Peppymeter works properly on Webradio, the only other source I use. With Spotify, it shows the selected meter, nothing else. New discovery is that when pausing or stopping (regardless of source) I get ‘artifacts’, like this:
Moment, moment - what resolution are you using?
show full screen
1920x480 resolution
one more thing: where are the skins loaded?
Yeah, I have the spectrum ones as well
