Project with PeppyMeter/PeppySpectrum Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO

[hifipi]

Hi, I have just made a fresh install, and everything works and it looks awesome, except that the needles doesn’t move.
SYSTEMINFO
Raspberry PI 4 Model B 4GB
DAC HIFIBerry Digi+ Pro
Volumio 3.435 march 6 2023 10.42.18 AM:CET
Peppymeter 1.3.0

I am still waiting for my display, so I am connecting to an external monitor 1920x1080.
I use Tidal Connect as source, have tried from USB connected HD as well as I could see in post that source cold matter.

Any suggestions to where I should edit something, and what?

Kind regards
Poul

There is a screen with a resolution of 1024x600. When starting medium, the indicator shows in the upper left corner. How to move it to another position. For example, right in the middle? Where and what parameters need to be changed.?

Activate the touch display plugin first!

The following entries should be made for the display in the userconfig.txt

max_framebuffer_height=1480
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 0 80 16 32 1480 0 16 4 12 0 0 0 60 0 42000000 3

@rajiv.kumar1984
do not delete the customer 5 folder!

Add the entries for the skin you are using to the meter.txt file
and copy the files to the customer 5 folder!

Please don’t download from github, but use the plugin. This will download the latest version of Peppy Meter and does all the necessary settings for Volumio.

@michel8166 Hi,
thanks for the response, sorry I am so slow at responding. I do not have a music_service folder under plugins. mine looks like:

-plugins
|_miscellanea
|_user_interface

Also volspotify.tmpl sounds a lot like Spotify specific, I am using Tidal Connect and local (USB harddrive). That’s why I didn’t pay much attention to the post when I looked for a solution. I don’t know if it’s the same file I need to customize r there is a specific for tidal/local ?

[michel8166]

@hifipi indeed was specific to spotify, sorry my mistake. I hadn’t seen that it was about the complete peppymeter needles that don’t move.

I had the same problem last week and had to install peppymeter again 2x before it worked, I wouldn’t know what caused that.
how did you install peppymeter?
it is best to use download as a plug-in.
in my case the meters only move when I select software mixer under playback options/mixer type.

@Wheaten

does all the necessary settings for Volumio.

Thinks this is very clear?

[hifipi]

@michel8166 Thanks, used volume plugin update and set mixer to software, and now the meters are moving

[hifipi]

Where do you get the custom skin? And how to install it? Looks awesome

Working well

I’ve been trying to install Peppymeter via the Plugin but can not find it. I went to /dev and clicked Test Plugins True , it didn’t stay highlighted. I went back and the same plugins were listed. I assume I’m doing something basic and have tried searching these forums. Thanks
