Now I am facing some issues in peppy meters working. Peppy meter is not turning on automatically or taking too much time to activate peppy meters, suppose if it is turned on
the peppy meter needle is not working when music is playing, causing the touch screen to freeze and stop reacting. Additionally, when playing internet radio, the song’s time/counter are no longer visible. But YouTube has it available… I brought up all of these problems to the Facebook volumio group and volumio community forum both requested a solution. Mr. Michel Alofs made a little more of an effort to assist me, but he was still unable to resolve the issue. I think the peppy meter developer can assist me more effectively with this problems.
Thank you so much for quick support. Settings done as you me mentioned… but peppy is not turning on . also song duration is not displaying when playing radio stations…Youtube is showing…Also mailed to 2aCD and Gelio 5 earlier today… still waiting to the kind support from experts.
Indeed. I tried formatting my 32GB SD Ultra card with the most recent versions of the Volumio OS 3.631, Peppy Screen Saver 1.5.0, and Touch Display Plugin 3.3.8, but it didn’t work. Peppy doesn’t switch on by itself. If it is enabled after a few minutes, the touch screen is hanging and the peppy needle is not moving… Anyways i will try again the steps from the beginning…then i will update you…
@dvo@Gelo5 I was the one who helped him a bit through Facebook. @Naveen do it right the first time and not if this happens, otherwise you could run into problems… pay attention to that
Yeah, something is going wrong, Had a fresh Volumio install (with latest one from the zip in post 7, yesterday) and peppy didn’t start. If i tried the same calling it manually, but it keeps throwing random segmentation faults (PM V1.5.0).
So I took the backup SD from before the fresh install, (PM V1.4.0), that one worked.
Also the uninstall from V1.5.0 seems broken. It leaves folders intact. Needed to manual remove them in order to reinstall them.
pygame is updated for 1.5.0 so you could not use a old version because it doesn’t overwrite
a old version. that’s why you need to use a clean install of all.
and he had to use the touch plugin 3.3.8 instead of the 3.3.5
it could be that he runs in to errors mine hanged at 70%
switched repository mirror discribed here to install it :
uninstall would not work, even if you could remove it all because of pygame older version that is installed.
fresh install is needed for the 1.5.0 version.
Disagreed! Yesterday, I tried to uninstalled the 1.4.2 and of course, it gave me an error. I had everything set up on my 1TB NVMe so I just deleted the whole folder of /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver then reboot. After reboot, the 1.4.2 was gone and I was be able to install the 1.5.0. I don’t remember if I had to do a “Factory Reset” or not.
Anyway, today I just replaced the 1TB with a 2TB NVMe and did a fresh install and everything is working fine.
@Naveen everything works, also random (mode interval) interval set to 15, playing internet radio.
the screen continues to work and does not stop or an error with the touch.
@Wheaten I also tried the uninstall button, same problem, error.
