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 ‘.’.
Then for me this stops, Sorry.
it was only a proof of concept.
If someone else want to sort this out, you’re welcome.
I bought an LCD for WYSE a week too late 
the only thing you can try is using this url for download, no guaranty though:
https://community.volumio.org/uploads/short-url/bUZ6KlbUuyCPgvwLmsLytLhUzw.zip
Step 2 becomes then:
cd ~
wget https://community.volumio.org/uploads/short-url/bUZ6KlbUuyCPgvwLmsLytLhUzw.zip
miniunzip bUZ6KlbUuyCPgvwLmsLytLhUzw.zip -d ./
rm bUZ6KlbUuyCPgvwLmsLytLhUzw.zip
cd Install_peppy
chmod 755 *.sh
sudo ./install_peppyalsa.sh
sudo ./install_PeppyMeter.sh
sudo reboot
Is it important step ??

Setting up libasan5:amd64 (8.3.0-6) …
yeah seems important to me…
Ran a few test and started Peppy with the default installer from @2aCD .
download link:.
Only thing needed to sort out is that i needed to start it manually:
cd /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver
export DISPLAY=:0
sudo python3 volumio_peppymeter.py
Hi Falk.
Tested the plugin on a x86. (Download from post 7)
Install ran without issues, even was able to run it when starting manually.
Either by modifying run_peppymeter.sh with: sudo python3 volumio_peppymeter.py
or start peppy by sudo bash run_peppymeter.sh (Without adding the sudo).
Any suggestion to have it start by the plugin itself?
For me it’s ok this way as it opens the door to start/stop peppy by GPIO, but for x86 users it would enable them to run peppy, straight out of the box.
start:
sudo bash /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/run_peppymeter.sh
Stop:
rm /tmp/peppyrunning

I got mine working and needed to manually start as well. This functionality is a game changer!
How do I remove the upper left piece that has the song title in it? txs
also, now that I have my BT remote and trigger happy working, maybe there is a way I could turn the peppymeter on with my remote?
put # in front of playinfo.title.pos
in meters.txt (with the selected skin) or remove this line

Just got feedback form @2aCD for a different way to control stop.
I will test it tomorrow and report back.
Make sure to buy him a 
(and @Gelo5 gets one too)
Volumio thrives on community members like them.

Yesterday after install PM, I can’t use any sound output ( not exist ), after uninstall PM everything works. I install new clean copy and will try one more time
I can start peppymeter as you have indicated, however if I shake the mouse, it will drop to the normal volumio UI and not go back to the screensaver.
that’s correct. Peppy is a screensaver, so if you shake your mouse the process will be terminated.
In that case you need t start Peppy again.
As stated above, it needs to be sorted out. Maybe this weekend as I am occupied now getting peppy to be controlled by RC and/or GPIO on the rPi.
