Project with PeppyMeter Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO v2.9xx and 3.0xx buster

Thanks Gelo5

My monitor is from ViewSonic which is Taiwan/US brand. The resolution is 1920x1080.
May I know where is the userconfig.txt located?

As I used the V2.9 plugins (GPIO-Buttons, Audiophonics ON/OFF, IR Remote Controller) which are not available on V3, I don’t want to upgrade to V3 at this moment.
I will try your suggestion later today, hope it can help!

Hi Gelo5

Really?

Make a fresh install on a new SD card and you’ll see

RBK · July 29, 2022, 1:07pm

Really thanks for your help!

Plugins in beta state are available Only if you enable plugin test mode in IP/dev

Hi!
Once again, I want to say you (dev/users of the plugin) have done an amazing work!
So many nice skins!
Really, well done!
And once again, a call… Please migrate the plugin to Volumio 3! It would be great to have it provides in the store.
Some tips (non exhaustive)

change category to user_interface
adapt package.json
remove all mpd modification in install.sh
use AAMPP
use a shared folder in /Internal/peppypluging (or whatever you want) to place skins. No need to SSH for users!
…
If everything is respected, all sources will work!

We can help if needed
Details are: https://developers.volumio.com/

How can I resolve this problem. Thanks

On all skin? Or on a specific one?
Some skins only have indicators, don’t show the cover

maruchok · August 1, 2022, 6:34pm

Оn all skins after setup. I didn’t install any additional.

Gelo5 · August 1, 2022, 6:41pm

Then install one of mine. They all display the cover.
(Click on my Avatar and download)
There must be a cover in the music folder, e.g. a folder.jpg
There must be an entry in the meters.txt file (example):
albumart.pos = 8,11
albumart.dimension = 300,300
If missing, there will be no cover

Hi! I installed Volumio latest test version 3.342 today. Pretty happy to say that you don´t need to uninstall Peppymeter screensaver to do it. Nice new menu too…

Gelo5 · August 2, 2022, 5:36pm

You never had to uninstall :). It was enough to turn it off

michel8166 · August 2, 2022, 5:46pm

peppymeter on the woody looks good now
not wrong on the metal philips nos dac either.

ClaesM · August 2, 2022, 6:30pm

Well. that didn´t work for me on earlier system updates…

Hi All,

First of all, I really enjoy this plugin and really appreciate those who contribute. I have this problem which I first thought isn’t Peppymeter related, and I hope someone with the knowledge can help.

I just did a fresh Volumio (ver.3.324) install today with two plugins Touch Display (3.3.5) and PeppyMeter Screensaver (1.3.0) turned on. As soon as I play any flac music file (24 bit/44.1khz), I receive the “alsa” error (screenshot below) and unable to play the song. I have tried many different albums with the same sample rate and received the same error. However, I don’t have any problem playing any flac file with 24/48, 24/192, or DSD files. As soon as I turn off the Peppymeter plugin in Settings, I’m able to play 24/44.1 with no error. I have swapped two different DACs, and the exact thing happens, so I don’t think is DAC related. I really want to make this plugin work, and most of my library are 24/44.1. Any assistance is really much appreciated!! Thanks!
