Project with PeppyMeter Screensaver Plugin for VOLUMIO v2.9xx and 3.0xx buster

@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

@isercan have you tried this.

I am still waiting for my display, so I am connecting to an external monitor 1920x1080.
I use Tidal Connect as source, have tried from USB connected HD as well as I could see in post that source cold matter.

Any suggestions to where I should edit something, and what?

Kind regards

@hifipi first of all welcome to the volumio forum :smiley:
take a look a few posts above yours :wink:

There is a screen with a resolution of 1024x600. When starting medium, the indicator shows in the upper left corner. How to move it to another position. For example, right in the middle? Where and what parameters need to be changed.?

For waveshare 11.9 inch screen while setting up Volumio with Peppymeter, what are the things needs to be taken care and activeted during the installation. can you please share the list of those items. Also what would be the Peppymeter resolution for a 11.9 inch HDMI screen.

Kindly guide

Activate the touch display plugin first!

The following entries should be made for the display in the userconfig.txt

Waveshare LCD 11.9 inch

max_framebuffer_height=1480
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 0 80 16 32 1480 0 16 4 12 0 0 0 60 0 42000000 3
display_rotate=3 #1: 90; 2: 180; 3: 270

install the plugin PeppyMeter
follow the instructions above

@rajiv.kumar1984
do not delete the customer 5 folder!

Add the entries for the skin you are using to the meter.txt file
and copy the files to the customer 5 folder!

Please don’t download from github, but use the plugin. This will download the latest version of Peppy Meter and does all the necessary settings for Volumio.
