Hi,
Found the issue. Not related to the latest V3.163 of Volumio or Peppymeter.
Besides a touchscreen, my system has a OLED screen to show hw/sw information, like CPU load, temp,…
Written in a python script that is loaded during startup in /etc/rc.local.
Or start the script manual, same problem. (most likely caused by the while True loop in the script)
When disabled PeppyMeter works, when enabled PeppyMeter won’t work.

tried running script with SYSTEMD, init.d, rc.local. Issue remains, any suggestion bypass this?

Hi @Wheaten
I don’t know exactly what the other python script is doing.
And which problem occurs with PeppyMeter when the oled script is running.
I think @Lintbf have running a mpd oled in combination with the PeppyMeter.

Hi @lech
that looks very good on this display. I have not see it in real. Please can you post a picture with the technics design.

Yes,
I have used mpd oled and pepy meter but now I move to buster rc version and I am struggling to make 8080s Plugin work again…the one from store the Metadata și not synched sit songs I had a mpd oled version compiled by balbuze for buster beta… I will try to install it tommorow evening again…
Do you know that in buster beta rc version I 3.163 can install the plugins manually? I have tried to install the same 80s80s plugins that use to work on non rc version and now is not working… The whole volumio is starting to looke like an ecosystem: ( c
Btw @2acd are you planning to upload the plugins to plugin store?

Hi,

Script content seems not that important.
Even a simple python script like below, causes PeppyMeter to fail.
If I stop the script, PeppyMeter won’t start anymore, until a reboot is done.
import time
while True:
print(“test”)
time.sleep(5)

Also played around with mpd_oled, which seems to have issues on V3.163 with PeppyMeter. When both enabled, both fail. Only one of them can work. Guess it’s releate dto the pipe thingy.

tryimg to get something like this running:

Hi Wheaten

From experiences on Moode it seems that there are likely to be issues with visualizers using the ALSA multi plugin

Hi, i upgraded to version 3.165 by doing the update from the Pi and got the meter working with no issues - Although I kept getting some ALSA error messages so I formatted SD card and did a fresh install, I checked the volumio website which had a newer Pi image version 3.173 than what updating from the Pi showed - I’ve installed that with Peppy meter and all is working fine - Maybe try a fresh install? I followed Andy Yong Peppy meter install video on youtube…Volumio with PeppyMeter PlugIn Installation Guide - YouTube

I just installed a fresh Volumio 3.173, Touchscreen and PeppyMeter Plugins and can confirm that the PeppyMeter is working as it should.
