Please reply in a normal way, I don’t do well well on remarks like “Well, If you read”, there is no reason for this kind of remarks.
The topic i highlighted (regardless the version) is regarding Spotify and modifying the template.in order to make it work, As you indicate you have issues with Spotify. If it works I don’t know but give it a try.
YOU WROTE THIS TO ME:
SO I REPSONDED:
Well, if you read my post, I was never on 1.4, i was at first on 1.5 and now on Peppy screensaver 2.1.0. It works well, only need to get Spotify to function with peppymeter, also.
It works, I can play music and there is a peppymeter. you say it does not work well. What is so not normal with my comment?
Just want to have some help with Alsa configuration, I fixed every problem with my installation that way, ore with changing other configuration. There is nothing wrong with my SD card, with Debian ore Volumio installation. I worked with Debian since 2004, I know how to test it, how to test SD cards, it is ok.
I will not install beta, I just want to know where the configuration is done for Spotify Connect plugin, witch file to edit, there have to be a file defining main sound card, just as for airplay an mpd player. Then I know how to do a dummy plugin in /etc/asound.conf for Peppymeter too use.
I have tried to find documentation my self online, but it is very poor. Glad for any help here.
I have the same problem as you,
Could you tell me the reason for this? How was it resolved?
Volumio 3.703 running in X86 Pad,
PeppyMeter /PeppySpectrum can be living, but I can’t see Albumart and PlayInfo.
I use 1280x800_custom_4 of templates .
@Morpho_menelaus, welcome to the forum. You are asking a question that was 3 years ago (2021). It would be best to describe your hardware/software configuration and what your problem is.
Thanks!

PeppyMeter 2.2.1
PYGame 1.9.4.post1
I followed this installation on my x86/64 based NUC and installed without errors but after … when I started to play music… my volumio couldn’t play music anymore.
I don’t know about x86. I don’t have an x86 installation. I think you don’t have your ALSA configuration set.
Edit:
ooo, I just noticed that @Morpho_menelaus is also on x86.
For Peppymeter on X86 there is this separate thread - there is issues on X86 so read it.

The reason why album covers and playback information are not displayed is that the socketio-client module is not communicating properly

Hello Version of Volumio: 3.757 I have and I also have problems with displaying album information. It worked fine in an older version but not in the current version. Can you give me information on how you solved it? I am using Peppy-Meter-Basic Version:0.0.1
PeppyMeterBasic don’t display metadatas (and never did it)
Screenshot are not from PeppyMeterBasic
Yes, you are right, this is an old x86 version and it works. At the beginning of the topic it was stated that it does not work in PeppyMeterBasic.
Hello
I managed to install peppy meter on RPI4 without problems, but I just changed system, I switched to X86 (HP x2 Laptop - 10-p011nf).
The installation is OK, but impossible to make peppy meter work.
Does Peppy meter work on this type of system?
Thank you
Hello, I feel the same way!
I’ve invested some time…
The installation of PeppyMeter was ok, but not the function. no screen saver appears.
My versions:
on an x86
Volume 3,779 freshly installed several times
but as I see nothing has changed since Oct. 2
Take a look here. This one works on a x86. (no metadata or album art)
Yes, thanks!!!
I have already installed that and it works!!
but I would just like to have the album data etc…
… but there are already some who have made it…
So it has to work!!
am I right?
Well it takes a lot of patience and efforts, hence I stopped supporting it.
Maybe the community wants to help out.
