just ask what steps you have to follow to get it running.

Hi,

Just re-inserted the SD Card with Volumio.
Browsing the plug-ins list : no plug-in called peppy or something similar.

Am I doing something wrong ?

10

skip this…

Hi,
Thanks a lot for those infos.
I also assume that this adds the Vu-Meter if you use an external display.
Not directly into the Volumio inteface ?

Anyways, enabled test mode for plug-ins and still nothing showing up.
Probably not doing it right :frowning:

you can download skins and add then in the right folders just look if your resolution is there
otherwise you have to create it

i don’t see it there then you can install it manual from the plugin folder.

@wheaten can you show him how to use peppy plugin.

13

Peppy is not in the plugin store, you have been wrongly informed.
Please have a look here: Project with PeppyMeter Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO v2.9xx and 3.0xx buster - #7 by 2aCD
and check " Download as Plugin:"

Hi,

Much too complicated…

But thanks for your try to add this feature :slight_smile:

15

they want to create a album art in combi with a vu meter peppy should do the trick.
i’m not into peppy heard that there was a plugin but it seems still as a manual install.

16

Peppy_meter includes the albumart

17

don’t forget to set in /dev it back :slight_smile: from true to false so you won’t get beta’s

I am unable to browse the content of the Volumio SD card so that makes that installation impossible.

I have enabled ssh and I can connect, but it asks for a password that I do not know.

I tried “volumio” but that does not work => permission denied

19

are you on a pc? PH? user volumio and pass volumio

20

PC running Linux Arch

21

Hum. It just asks for a password.
So I assume the first command is wrong anyways.

I simply enter ssh 192.168.1.124 but should probably use the username in front of that ?

22

Yes you should use username

23

yups…

24

ssh volumio@192.168.1.124

25

Yep : ssh volumio@192.168.1.124 works

26

Keep in mind that peppy runs on a connected screen.
And see PeppyMeter Templates - Volumio what we currently have, besides the defaults coming with the plugin. But these defaults lacks cover art.

Hi,

I will not use it for now.

1°) it is MUCH too complicated for a noob like me ;
2°) I do not have an external display/screen. So this is not what I was looking for anyways :slight_smile:

But thanks a lot for trying to help :slight_smile:
