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

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.

Thanks! I will try it out.

Just curious to see if there is any one using an android tablet as a monitor for PeppyMeter connecting via a HDMI Video Capture dongle. If there is a way that would be great.

Thanks.

Hi, I hope you can help me. I’ve been tinkering with peppy_screensaver on my volumio. My screen is 800x480.
I copied the tube images (foreground and needle from the peppy github.
I added entries to the meter.txt and a lot of things work:

  • the meter is at the bottom and the needles move
  • the albumart is shown exactly where I expect it to be
  • the playinfo.type, playinfo.samplerate, and time.remaining show
    But try as I may, I cannot get playlist.title, playlist.album or playlist.artist to show
    What am I missing? The default screensavers show artist, album and title.

[tube]
meter.type = circular
channels = 2
ui.refresh.period = 0.033
bgr.filename = tube-bgr.png
indicator.filename = tube-needle.png
fgr.filename = tube-fgr.png
steps.per.degree = 4
start.angle = 44
stop.angle = -44
distance = 111
left.origin.x = 177
left.origin.y = 350
right.origin.x = 619
right.origin.y = 350
meter.x = 0
meter.y = 130
screen.bgr = all-black.jpg

— volumio optional entries -------

config.extend = True
albumart.pos = 580, 20
albumart.dimension = 200,200
albumart.border = 1
playinfo.title.pos = 20,40,bold
playinfo.artist.pos = 20,80,light
playinfo.album.pos = 20,100,light
playinfo.type.pos = 400,90
playinfo.type.color = 94,91,80
playinfo.type.dimension = 28,28
playinfo.samplerate.pos = 440,90,regular
time.remaining.pos = 400,120
time.remaining.color = 94,91,80
font.size.digi = 32
font.size.light = 14
font.size.regular = 15
font.size.bold = 15
font.color = 250,250,250

I’m not @solaar1974 , but try to add:
playinfo.center = False
playinfo.maxwidth = 350

And distance = 111 is too big :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That did the trick. Thank you so much!

I must say this, what am awesome album you’re listening while peppymetering :slight_smile: :ok_hand:

Can you help me. The system I use is windows x86 and spotify does not move the hands. I don’t have the /etc/spopd.conf file.
Hands are moving in parts such as youtube, usb music
