Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO

Only??

Yeah, I have the spectrum ones as well

show photo of both items (from templates and templates_spectrum)

upload as shown in the photo above.


That’s what I did?

Download
unpack and copy the WHOLE FOLDERS (from templates–>to templates, from templates_spectrum–>to templates_spectrum), do not change the name

TYVM, that fixed it! :pray:

Apologies for the delayed reply, I had reached my forum allowance.

Totatally agree with this. Reading a thread that spands years doesn’t make sense.

Hey Falk,

Running V2.21 of peppy on Volumio V3.742.
If I turn of animation and place the VU-meter somewhere on the screen I get Segmentation Faults, and Peppy won’t start.
If I enable animation again, peppy starts without errors?

error: peppy_screensaver: Error start PeppyMeter: Error: Command failed: /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/run_peppymeter.sh
/data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/run_peppymeter.sh: line 7:  4417 Segmentation fault      python3 ./screensaver/volumio_peppymeter.py

If I do the same with a full screen template (1280x400) I can turn animation of and peppy starts.

Any idea?

Hi @Wheaten,
I‘ll check this with volumio v3.742
The segmentation fault error is very difficult. It comes from pygame v2 with sdl2. I don’t know exactly if sdl2 version changed in this Volumio version.

If this error also occurs with my original skins?

No only with smaller ones, that I use as overlay over Volumio’s “Manifest” or “Now Playing”.
It is also intermitted, or better screen dependent. The segmentation faults happens on the Waveshare 7.9 Inch (HDMI), but not a Waveshare 4.3inch Capacitive Touchscreen MIPI DSI screen.

Ah, I understand. This is a known issue for small resolutions 320x240 and 480x320.
Please set in meters.txt:

meter.x = 1 instead 0

I think that helps.

Will try but the resolutions are:
1280x400 (failing) and 800x480 (working)

Tested on the Waveshare 800x480, modified meter.x=1, and it worked.

Thanks

1 more question :slight_smile:

Had anyone success to make the background xxxx-bgr.png transparent? Looking for a way to fill up unused space on my 1280x400 screen, but the background is pretty dominant.

insert this bgr

Funny you :rofl:
If I leave it blank Peppy won’t start.
If white => white
If transparant png => black
If I use a 1x1 pixel png => indicator won’t refresh and grey background
