rpi5 needs a 5V/5A power supply, the cooling not mandatory for Volumio, you need to test it for your situation. There is also passive cooling. But I would advise to cool it.
A library target comparison table is in this post.
Kind Regards,

can you please share the link where to buy the screen ? thanks
The original link is missing, you can search “1920x480 LCD” in Amazon, or any other on-line shopping.
Good luck !
Hi everyone, first off, big thanks @Gelo5 and @2aCD for this amazing plugin and visuals - volumio looks kinda boring without it! 
I finally got round to updating my main player from 3.6 to the latest 3.785 and now have a wierd issue where PeepyMeter seems to draw itself twice, resulting in flickering bars and/or needles. It’s really obvious if the start animation is on as you can see the wipe draw itself twice.
I’m using a Pi4 with an 800x480 7" DSI touchscreen (can’t remember where it came from, but probably AliExpress).
I’ve tried playing with userconfig.txt but to no avail.
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Simon

Probably should have mentioned that as well:
Peppymeter 2.2.1
pygame 2.6.0.dev1 (SDL 2.0.9, Python 3.7.3)
cheers /S
can you take pictures? It’s hard to imagine. PM and pygame are the latest, everything should work fine.
Please don’t judge my ghetto player! 
There always seems to be something else that needs doing instead of putting this in a proper case…
record 30s of music playing. What plugins do you have installed?
Crappy iphone large files! Sorry i have to link it this way: playing and nothing crazy with plugins:
and thanks for looking at this 
Try to set it up like in the picture (end of post). I don’t know what’s the reason?? 
Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO - #741 by Gelo5?
Annoyingly that’s exactly how it’s set up except for my smooth needle is 4 
Perhaps when the weather is bad again i’ll sit down and do a ground up rebuild and see if that makes any difference.
Cheers for the help though
Just taken the SD card from the “main” system to the spare Pi i have but using an HDMI screen - no problems
