Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO

I understand that the "disable … " entry didn’t help?
If so - add an entry with your resolution

e.g. like this:
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1280 400 60 3 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=1

Or see the monitor manual.

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=400 0 100 10 140 1280 10 20 20 2 0 0 0 60 0 43000000 3

my monitor works great. just a bigger skin.
I just started using this monitor. there are problems with setting up in kiosk mode, increasing fonts, dimming the background … I want a lot)

After enable/disable “disable_overscan=1” dont work increasing fonts.

Oh, I didn’t pay attention. After all, this skin is for a different resolution 1920x480 !!! How is it supposed to work for you?
It has to be modified
Click on my Avatar, there are 4 skins for your resolution. Check if they work

:slight_smile: Thank you. In which folder should the archive be unpacked?

Closest to your resolution … custom_6 (1280x720)
or any, but only 4 skins will work. Don’t forget to copy the text to meters.txt

But somewhere there must be a folder “Wide 2 chanel 1280x400” ?

wide 2ch

I mine and you mine. Check it out above
CUSTOM!

Maybe it will work for Wide? Check

I found!!

You’re not listening to what is said to you
Upload to custom6

I tried to do so. This trick doesn’t work. Files must belong to the “root” group/user.

it is in the list, but it does not work. I had the same thing with 1920x480 skins.

why not use filezilla or winscp to copy files to the correct folder.

I’ve done it all before. Thank you very much for your help, but it doesn’t work. As I wrote to you earlier, if files with skins in the same folder do not belong to the same group/user (root or volumio), then the skins will not be launched. They are displayed in the list, but do not start. This is a fact.

Impossible, they must work. You’re doing something wrong. View Filezilla screenshot

I don’t use Filezilla. I use Putty in Windows and explorer in Linux Mint. I will try a clean install.

You’re so stubborn. Use Filezilla as advised and trouble will disappear. Why don’t you want to try?

ок :grin:

Yesterday I uploaded custom files of @Gelo5 via filezilla, everything works perfectly.

in my case custom_1 (800x400)

The skin “Gelo5 Old braun” is specified twice in your meters.txt file. I removed the excess and everything worked. Without Filezilla. :wink: I put all the files in a /data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/wide.
Thank.

So, peppymeter stops working with fusiondsp ??

What seams to stop working is only the screensaver trigger because I can manually start it and it works beautifully and if I stop the music , peppymeter also stops, only the play/screensaver trigger is missing.
Can I please get some help ? What triggers the screensaver ?

Thank you

I found the issue. Fusiondsp starts some python3 process that makes run_peppymeter.sh if condition fail.

If fusiondsp is not enabled, pgrep -x “python3” , does not return any process whereas it returns if fusiondsp is enabled. This is the issue.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

EDIT: Fix
Without any music playing…

nano /data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/run_peppymeter.sh

change

if ! pgrep -x “python3” > /dev/null

to

if ! pgrep -f volumio_peppymeter.py > /dev/null

ctrl+x , ctrl+y, enter , to save file and it should start working after the screensaver timeout value when you start plying music.

if you want to make the VU move more

nano /data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/config.txt

look for [data.source] and change volume.max = 100.0 to something higher like 200, experiment what works for you

ctrl+x , ctrl+y, enter to save.
