Hi @pjorgenunes
do you have this crashes also with my out of the box skins (black-white, gold, …)
Which screen resolution do you use?
I think it’s not an absolute value of needle. I think it is depend on the meter dimension (size of meter area)
Hi @2aCD,
1920x1080 (but also happens with 1920x515 and x480).
It also happens with the skins that originally came. Gold, black-white (this ones crashed). Dash and Dash2 worked well.
The funny thing is that I monitor cpu in a ssh window with top command and cpu is almost always <10%…
Ok, the ‘black white’, 'black blue, gold have the biggest needles.
Can you please do the follow:
Start the peppymeter manually with:
/data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/volumio_peppymeter/run_peppymeter.shThen start the music and let it run.
Do you see any error, when the meters freeze?
I’ll check that later when I arrive home. I’ll give you feedback on it.
Thanks
What skins do you use? Does the same thing happen on the original ones?
Oops i forgot include, it’s 800x480
Write more information, it’s hard to respond if you don’t write more.
- 800x480 - custom or built-in?
- Show a screenshot of FileZilla loaded skins
Is this for me?
Sorry, I will delete it. I thought you were asking me before 
Sorry

Hi @2aCD ,
in folder:
volumio@volumio:/data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter$
I ran the command:
bash run_peppymeter.sh (I had to edit it for it to run and not become black screen-it’s a thing with tinkerboard and x86, I believe):
#if ! pgrep -x “python3” > /dev/null
#then
export DISPLAY=:1
sudo -k python3 volumio_peppymeter.py
#fi
And I get this on ssh console:
pygame 1.9.4.post1
Hello from the pygame community. Contribute - pygame wiki
As soon as I play some music I get this messages in ssh (but it the meter runs):
Exception in thread Thread-10:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3.7/threading.py”, line 917, in _bootstrap_inner

self.screen.blit(self.imgSampleBackup, sample_rect)
AttributeError: ‘ImageTitleFactory’ object has no attribute ‘imgSampleBackup’
Then, after some time, the meter freezes (it keeps playing sound and the web interface runs smoothly).
At the crashing moment and after I don’t get anymore messages and I cannot even ctrl^c the pygame run in the ssh console.
After this, I can only get graphical interface and peppymeter to run again after a reboot.
PS - I tried it with GOLD meter
Hi @2aCD Falk ! No news about my click issue during performing music with peppy?
It’s truly an unbearable flaw that ruins everything.
Hi @Roberto_Grieco
I have no other response with this problem and I can’t reproduce it. It seems a problem with your sound card in combination with Spotify and peppyalsa.
I can’t change anything on the alsa configuration without create issues for other peoples.
I’ll send you in the evening the alsa config from my latest developer plug-in. You can try this.
Hi @eMCZe,
If the music ends the peppy meter screen still exist.
This is fixed with next version.

It is not a ptoblem for me I was only curious. Both are screen savers.
Ok, thank’s Falk. The problem is only with Peppymeter, if I disable it, the music is ok without clicks. My sound card is an Smsl C 100 with AK4493S chip
Hi @Roberto the combination is the problem spotify-peppyalsa-Smsl. Not the soundcard allone.
try 1:
Peppyalsa.postPeppyalsa.5.conf.zip (835 Bytes)
try2:
Peppyalsa.postPeppyalsa.5.conf.zip (835 Bytes)
switch the alsa config, to enable it and restart.
Oh my my dear and so patient friend Falk @2aCD
The first file performs music & clicks the same.
The second don’t perform music and clicks because Spotify connect is ko,down …doesn’t function.
I think that’s impossible to me to use the “mighty” Peppymeter without clicks… 
As you thougt my cocktail is no good for Peppy.
Damn !
I hope in the future development of the plugin…maybe it could be the right time…
