here some info you could need when installing :
this is if you use a x86 :
xrandr --newmode “1920x720_59.00” 110.00 1920 2016 2208 2496 720 723 733 748 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 “1920x720_59.00”
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode “1920x720_59.00”
if you have a rpi you have to give this to gvolt and he can convert it for the rpi.
Thanks. I got the display working fine with the default Volumio UI and Now Playing plug-ins (see pic - it’s on the lower left). Now I just have to study the docs to get a PeppyMeter set up with the correct resolution for this thing. Once I figure that out, I’ll start on building a case.
Guess I should have went with a Waveshare or other “supported” display with a more stand resolution and saved myself some grief.
Waveshare is really supportive. They have good wiki’s and even supported people with drivers for lower kernel version like Volumio.
I would for sure go with a display, that already have templates.
it isn’t waveshare, it’s vs displays
I want to thank for the help with the templates and show my nearly finished work. Only some cosmetics on the new real panel will have to be done.
There’s a link up in the thread – Peppymeter (peppyalsa) VU Meters with Roon? - #15 by 312Elements - Raspberry Pi - Roon Labs Community – that points to doing this with RoonBridge without Volumio (with pointers on how to get it going), but this Peppy screensaver doesn’t work on Volumio with Roon as a source. I hacked around a bit with asound.conf but it was above my skillset and couldn’t get it to work.
Perhaps it’s something we can request from @2aCD. 
I test Volumio every 6 months or so with Roon, and volroon was the last missing piece for me to move to Volumio for my various Pi streaming endpoints (super excited about volroon), but having Peppy would be icing on the cake.
i would not have your hopes up didn’t see him for a long time,
i think you could bake a lot of cakes in that time even with a lot of icing…
Hi all! Stranger things. There is a Volumio 3.429 on RPi 4, USB DAC with an indication of the incoming frequency and several scenarios.
Peppymeter is turned ON and the mixer type is set to Hardware or Not: only HiRes, DSD and Spotify are playing and the DAC displays all incoming frequencies. Peppymeter is working. I get an error when playing MP3: “Failed to open “alsa” (alsa); Error opening ALSA device “volumio”; snd_pcm_hw_psrams_set_period_time_near() failed: Invalid argument”
Peppymeter is turned ON and the mixer type is set to Program: everything is playing, Peppymeter is working, but the DAC does not receive a frequency higher than 44.1K or 48k from any source.
Peppymeter is OFF - everything works with any mixer settings and the DAC displays all incoming frequencies.
What should I fix to combine Peppymeter and correct HiRes playback?
hi could PepppyMeter work with airplay on iphone?
nope
Hi guys,
Any news on the official plugin feature for peppy metter?
In my Volumio Primo the non-official way that peppy meter needs to install, does implies edition of protected files, so it kind of disables updates and so on.
This make me decide not to use it, but I really love it 
BR,
Paulo
@Gelo5 Hello Gelo5,
My Setup is working really good. The decision which from your skins is my favorite, is very heavy. So I tried the list feature without effort. Do you have a hint once again? Thanks a lot, Dieter
I answer myself: an error “Failed to open “alsa” (alsa); Error opening ALSA device “volumio”; snd_pcm_hw_psrams_set_period_time_near() failed: Invalid argument” disappears when settings of the Peppymeter plugin - Alsa configuration is set to “DSD Native”. But at the same time Peppymeter stops working in Spotify. This struggle has already tired me. Is there a way to make it work everything everywhere all at once?
I read posts till the end but i didn’t understand how can i fix peppymeter and spotify problem. would you explain me step by step. Thanks
i tried all of them . ssh enable and wrpte it on putty. but said now have folder. after looked sd card inside i didnt finde folder.
just tried it, the file is just visible to me.
have you tried in mixer type, hardware or software, do a reboot after adjustment and check.
what volumio version and dac are you using?
ssh in Volumio sudo nano /data/plugins/music_service/spop/volspotify.tmpl
Glad the meters are working now 
I also suffer from the fact that time sometimes doesn’t run right.
I wouldn’t know the solution. maybe someone else knows or waiting for @2aCD
