On my Pi4 at 3.173, the meters move without any connection to the music, as if following a pattern. Not working in Spotify despite fixes in files.

Hi @2aCD
Running Peppy on a rPi4, Volumio 3.179. It occurs that when I play a single track (or last track of album), PeppyMeter will stay active when the songs end. Causing the touch_screen screen saver not to become active.
Hi @Wheaten,
yes this is a known little issue. The play stop event is missing and the peppy screen is still showing.
If you press play and stop on smartphone again, then the peppy screen exit correctly.
But I think, a touch event stops the screen also.
I’ll look if a event is triggered, when the Musik play end’s without user interaction.
yes, its a bit confusing. You catch the status update, it receives a stop event however peppy (or timeout is not responding to this). I abused peppy to send disp_off for the OLED above the touch screen, which is working.

Ok, you don’t have the custom resolutions?
please look in your folder:
Do you see the custom folders?
Solved!!! ( almost…I have only to adjust the screen)
Nothing custom folders…
all ok now with a fresh installation!
THANKS!!!
…any idea for screen adjust?
Please add to userconfig
disable_overscan=1Hi I am also facing the same issues…not getting the full screen
Please advise if disable_overscan=1 this resolves the issue…Also am extremelyt sorry but am new to this Peppymeter world but can u please help me as to exactly where I need to make this change for disable_overscan=1
sudo nano /boot/userconfig.txt
Add to the bottom:
disable_overscan=1
CTRL+O
CTRL + X
sudo reboot
Sorry for asking this stupid question maybe…Does this needs to be done at Terminal
That’s easiest, using ssh. You can also edit files in the boot directory by inserting the SDcard in your PC.

Hi, which is your native display resolution?
Hm, it seems it supports 1280x800, but it’s not shure if this the native resolution of this panel.
Perhaps you can detect the used panel inside the cover.
Same problem here, tried to manually start, this is the result:
volumio@volumio:/data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter$ DISPLAY=:0
volumio@volumio:/data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter$ python3 volumio_peppymeter.py

If I sudo the second command as in
sudo python3 volumio_peppymeter.py
then something happens, that is the screen goes blank and I got no error, screen returns to playback when I press control-C to exit.
