Help and Support Help

Hi,

The plugin installation stops at 70%, although the message “Plugin Successfully Installed” is displayed;
Same issue with 2.141 and 2.163 releases.

I use PI3+7 inch HDMI Waveshare.

Regards.

Hello,
I’ve tried the same thing, with a Rasp B+ and a 7’’ Waveshare screen. It seems that , by default, the screen is not correctly recognized by the Plugin, which indicates only support of the official 7’’ Raspberry screen, if I’m not mistaken.
I did not have the 70% stopping though (after a fresh install and reflash).
What I did to get it to work :

  • Fresh volumio install
  • Install Touch plugin (worked correctly)
  • Reboot (screen is black)
  • login through SSH, and modify /boot/cmdline.txt and /boot/config.txt to load the correct modules for screen management (using TFTBT driver, which seems to be included in the volumio distrib)
    ------ add following lines to config.txt :
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_drive=1
    hdmi_mode=1
    hdmi_mode=87
    hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
    ------ add following item to cmdline.txt :
    force_turbo=1

I Hope it works for you,too;
Nicolas

Hi,

Thanks.
I forgot to say that install works fine with 2.129 release (up to 100%) with the same hardware config.

For Waveshare 7 inch HDMI LCD ©, I described my setup in a post 1 month ago

Maybe is there a bug with newer releases?
