Hello everyone,

I wanted to reinstall Peppy, I recently uninstalled it because I was using Roon and it didn’t work. My Volumio version was a year old. After I installed Peppymeter, there were constant sound interruptions. I uninstalled Peppymeter again and updated Volumio to version 3.538. In the “Touch Display” plugin I set the waiting time to 30 seconds. Now I have reinstalled Peppymeter and copied the templates to the “custom_5 (1920x480)” folder. Music is played back without any sound interruptions, but Peppymeter does not start. The waiting time in Peppymeter is set to 10 seconds and the corresponding tamplete is selected. Does anyone have an idea what I could have done wrong?

If you installed everything correctly, there is an error in the meters.txt file

I didn’t change anything in the meters .txt, I copied the zip 1480x320_TEST into the corresponding folder

Have you set your monitor details in the userconfig.txt file?

Now I have reset Volumio to factory settings, reinstalled all plugins and checked the config and userconfig. Everything works, except the normal screen saver doesn’t start, nor does Peppymeter

What plugins do you have installed?
Once again, take a screenshot of your Peppymeter setup

Backup & Restore, Now Playing, Touch Display and Peppymeter. Ich hatte auch Fusion DSP aktiviert. Damit stoppte die Musik nach 10 Sekunden (Eingestellte wartezeit für Peppymeter). Nachdem ich Fusion DSP deaktiviert habe funktioniert auch Peppymeter einwandfrei. danke an alle die mir geholfen haben.

Peppy and DSP don’t work together.

THANK YOU so much for this fix! Installed peppymeter today and had same issue with Fusiondsp plugin installed.

What a lifesaver (was about to do a fresh volumio install, touch screen display plugin install etc. before I found this!)

Hi, sorry to bother you, I have a 1480x320 waveshare display, I can’t get the peppymeter to work, it’s like how I explained here, can anyone help me? Thank you

do I have the wrong peppymeter plugin? where should I download it

Hi, show me what you have in the userconfig.txt file (this is a typical error of this file). What monitor is it? Where do you upload files? You have the correct files in the post above.

Hi @ruxt

Please stop cross posting this over multiple threads.
Keep everything in this topic in regards to Peppy_meter.

In the userconfig.txt is empty i have: # Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates

The screen is: https://www.waveshare.com/11.9inch-hdmi-lcd.htm

I used the files in your summary post, while I installed the plugin from github.

In my config.txt
my config.txt

initramfs volumio.initrd
gpu_mem=32
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=audio=on
audio_pwm_mode=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
disable_splash=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
force_eeprom_read=0

include 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
display_rotate=3 #1: 90; 2: 180; 3: 270

Volumio i2s setting below: do not alter

dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio

I think this one is going wrong, when placed in landscape. I expect the line must be set to max_framebuffer_width

Try putting this in the userconfig.txt file:

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
display_rotate=3

Delete from the config.txt file, leave only:
include userconfig.txt
