Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO

2GB is ok with small libraries <20000 tracks, 4GB will be a smoother experience in combination with Peppy.
I know that @nerd posted a table somewhere, but unable to locate it.

Actually I’ll use it only for spotify playback, the price difference between rpi 4 and 5 is just a few euro’s, but the 5 needs probably active cooling…

Hmm what should I do?

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! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

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! :joy: 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 :grinning:

Try to set it up like in the picture (end of post). I don’t know what’s the reason?? :grimacing:
