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

Volumio Development
602

Hi,
Tried in my PC monitor (1920 X 1080 @ 60Hz), choosed the correct resolution on Peppy plugin, and with same result… after the time I choosed (15 seconds) a blank screen shows on monitor (with video signal but a blank (black) screen).

Here it is the contents of the meters.txt
found in “/data/plugins/miscelanea/peppy_screensaver/peppy_meter/custom_4 (1920x1080):”

Great job 2aCD and thanks to Gelo5 for sharing his skins. Everything works for me with the latest version of Volumio. Does the FIRE ROCK :metal:skin exist in 1920x1080? Or else Gelo5 can you make a tutorial to create a skin?

605

Thank you Gelo5,

Gonna try it with the 1920x1080 display. I believe in my 4K TV already done that and still the same behaviour.

All skins are in 1920x1080 (17 pcs).

607

On my OLED, LG works in this configuration. No Touch Display - black screen

608

Hope it will work to :slight_smile:

When I change the configuration in Touch plugin it gives an error saying something like: no protocol error… but the plugin is enabled.

609

Set:
Screensaver timeout - 60
Orientation settings - 0
GPU Memory size - 128
Scale settings - 100
and Apply, apply etc.

I have it and it works

Only Wheaten can help you. I have no idea anymore.

Thank you for your suggestions and help. If it helps finding the issue, when I install the Touch Display plugin I don’t get image on screen anymore (even disabling it or after uninstalling it).
The only thing that makes image appear again on monitor is after “Factory Reset”…
Here are some pics of the status after the installation of plugin “Touch Display” and a reboot process (ends in the same status).

I have Volumio Primo Official support, that’s true, but pepper screensaver is not an official plugin… Darn… It should became one.
I’ll check if Volumio Team can help also.

613

I read through the posting, but have to little knowledge with the Primo to provide suggestions. lets see if Volumio can help, or better if they will support this.

16 skins.
If something is wrong - post on the forum. I will try to improve.
The meters.txt file contains all original skins + plus my skins. Just overwrite the original file + upload all photos from the folder.

SPECIAL THANKS to @2aCD for making this brilliant plugin. Thank you very much.

Thanks to @Wheaten for hints and to @lausiv for calling me and directing me how to upload it. Thank you very much.
And everyone who likes my job. Thank you very much.

If you don’t like any skin - delete it.
Open the meters.txt file
Also delete jpg and png files that belong to the deleted skin.
