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

I have install the peppy meter plugin. The issue I am facing is there is no display when the peppy meter suppose to come on the screen. I have choose all available resolution on the option but still totally no display. Not sure what might be the issue

Well one issue I see, no information is given to even find a way to support you.
For starters:

  • What is your device?
  • Which screen are you using?
  • Is Volumio UI showing?
  • What version of Volumio are you using and don’t respond back with “the latest”?
  • Which plugins have been installed?

And what was it for?:rofl::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

  • Please remove Google touch, we have seen more issues with the Volvo S90 version.
  • Have you tried to connect the S90 to the Isle of man?
  • Have you tried to connect the LG to HDMI3, while rotating it sideways and click you heals?

If above won’t fix it, park the S90 around an oak!

:rofl: :joy:

Hello, I would like to have a suitable skin for my 2560 x 720 display. Would it work with this resolution?
I thank you for the support.
preferably this one



Max 1920x1080
Otherwise: set Peppymeter to 1280x800 and show what is on the screen (photo).

Or you can create your own template.
The first 2 are very easy to resize then you only need to adapt the meters.txt file.
Instructions can be found here:

It’s a shame, unfortunately I’m not the programmer who can do that

You don’t need to be a programmer to do this, all that’s needed is the capability to type integers and look at your screen.
all instructions have been documented and should be very easy to follow/understand.

Since you’re the only one with this format, assistance will be troublesome.

There is always someone who is first.
This display is the perfect size for a 43 inch device, that’s why

I’ll say it again, take a photo when you run Peppymeter with a different resolution. We’ll do something.
