Please restart from scratch and don’t modify settings manually.
Did you take a look here, for templates for your screen size?
You followed my instructions?
Hi, I couldn’t answer quickly. Work and business. I installed the plugin following your instructions, so I did not reinstall it. I was able to solve the problem. Probably not quite right, but it works now. in cofig.txt I prescribed a
meter.size = large
screen. width = 800
screen.height = 600
If you leave the width unchanged, but only change the height, then PeppyMeter starts working on the entire screen. I had to change the size of the skin in PS c 800/480 to 800/600 without preserving the proportions, but at the same time everything began to look as it should on the screen.

Anyone who can help me with peppymeter? I followed the whole procedure “I think correctly” the plugin is installed and also active with a green light, but no Vu meter is activated. I can’t understand what I did wrong, I’ve already done the installation twice! Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to help me!
Just installed a fresh image of V3.611.
Followed my instructions and it is working.
As this was more a proof of concept, I won’t provide support.

Great work as always Wheaten! It works like a charm! As you said, a plugin would be a great option for PCs!

Thanks so much for your wonderful instructions. All the commands worked without error.
Music plays, but the machine never goes into screensaver mode, so no peppy meter.
Anyway I can force it into screensaver mode?
you can try:
export HOME=/home/volumio/PeppyMeter
export DISPLAY=:0
cd /home/volumio/PeppyMeter
python3 volumio_peppymeter.py
tried this and I got this response:

Seem your running a unsupported screen size. just stick with the default small, Medium and wide.
where do i set the default size ? This was a fresh install. just used your instuctions.
Guess you didn’t read through this topic?
There is no entry in config.txt called meter.size.
I could just add one I suppose, also there is no small, medium, large entries in configfileparser.py.
Anyways, I will read thru all that thread and keep at it. txs
Please do not reinstall peppy meter at time.
Peppy player have made some changes on the source. This needs some changes also on the Volumio Plugin. We are working on it.
Best regards

OK Please let me know when I can go back to this super fun Plugin.
Yeah Volumio and the whole community!
Can I retry now with new plugin? does it work for x86? what instructions do i follow?

Hi, @Wheaten
Are you sure that new PM works with your script ??
I go to Step 4 and :
volumio@volumio-wyse3040:~$ cd /home/volumio/PeppyMeter
-bash: cd: /home/volumio/PeppyMeter: No such file or directory
I tried it on Wyse3040 + LCD + CD
I did follow my installation guide 2 weeks ago and it was working. @2aCD posted that changes where done. Not sure if there is any impact.
But I guess you should already ran into errors on step2 as the zip file is gone.
Yes and now, step was finished but in the middle I had this:
Compile peppyalsa
aclocal: warning: couldn’t open directory ‘m4’: No such file or directory
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in ‘.’.
