I had the same problem. Did a factory reset. Installed Spotify. Then went through installing PeppyMeter. It worked then unless I went into Spotify settings and changed “BitRate” after that my gauges stopped working. Wish I could find a better way to fix this, but that appears to be the only option I could figure out. So install Spotify and set your options. Then install PeppyMeter and don’t touch the Spotify settings after that.

Hi, Guys! I am trying to use cheaper SPI 480 x 320 (XPT2046) touchscreen for album art with peppymeter. Original meters work well, but as soon as I try to create my own skin album art does not change…
Am I missing some line in meters.txt or other settings? Does anyone have same experience? Maybe there is a known fix?
Help or possible solutions appreciated.

have you take a look at one of the many exapmples?

Thanks @Wheaten ! I took a look. They seem very similar to “costom skins” from original installation.
I wanted just to check if there is some limitations with particularly SPI displays, since they use different bus… But if it is not the case, then it is on my side. I will try to start fresh Volumio installation from the top and see if it helps.
Just one note for clarity: when I said “original meters” I meant for 480x320 (without album art). As soon as I tried to see album art with some other larger screen size folder or my own attempts, meters moved, but album art stopped on the first track.

What do you mean? What doesn’t change? Size?

@Gelo5 does not change with the next song.

please run your test with a more stable source. Both tested depends on serving art from a stream.
Try prob. tagged tracks for USB or NAS.

I don’t have Spotify, I have Tidal. The radio doesn’t seem to include the cover.
The cover is downloaded from the music folder. It doesn’t download the cover from TAG.

OK, thanks for tips Guys! Some further testing is necessary anyway.
