Hi
I installed PeppyMeter Screensaver in my Pi3B with Volumio V2.9 and connected to my monitor through HDMI. I selected 1920x1080 folder.
However, the graphic cannot be fully displayed. The right and lower sides be cropped.
It look like incorrect resolution. But I had checked the file properties are correct.
The normal payback screen also no problem.
Anybody can hep?
Thanks!

What is the resolution of the monitor? If 1920x1080 and it’s a Chinese monitor, you’ll need to add an entry to userconfig.txt

First try adding:
disable_overscan=1

If it doesn’t help, we’ll add another entry.

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 3 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=1

First of all, update Volumio to version 3 (as above).

Thanks Gelo5

My monitor is from ViewSonic which is Taiwan/US brand. The resolution is 1920x1080.
May I know where is the userconfig.txt located?

As I used the V2.9 plugins (GPIO-Buttons, Audiophonics ON/OFF, IR Remote Controller) which are not available on V3, I don’t want to upgrade to V3 at this moment.
I will try your suggestion later today, hope it can help! :pray:

/boot

Not available in version 3? Available.


Many thanks!
Will try tonight!

Hi Gelo5

It works perfectly after I added the line as you suggested.

disable_overscan=1

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Gelo5

Really?
I just keep monitor below status. I though they are not available.

Make a fresh install on a new SD card and you’ll see

OK, will try later.
Really thanks for your help! :pray:

Plugins in beta state are available Only if you enable plugin test mode in IP/dev :wink:

Hi!
Once again, I want to say you (dev/users of the plugin) have done an amazing work!
So many nice skins!
Really, well done!
And once again, a call… Please migrate the plugin to Volumio 3! It would be great to have it provides in the store.
Some tips (non exhaustive)

  • change category to user_interface
  • adapt package.json
  • remove all mpd modification in install.sh
  • use AAMPP
  • use a shared folder in /Internal/peppypluging (or whatever you want) to place skins. No need to SSH for users!:hugs:

    If everything is respected, all sources will work!

We can help if needed
Details are: https://developers.volumio.com/

How can I resolve this problem. Thanks

On all skin? Or on a specific one?
Some skins only have indicators, don’t show the cover
