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

Hi, I hope you can help me. I’ve been tinkering with peppy_screensaver on my volumio. My screen is 800x480.
I copied the tube images (foreground and needle from the peppy github.
I added entries to the meter.txt and a lot of things work:

• the meter is at the bottom and the needles move
• the albumart is shown exactly where I expect it to be
• the playinfo.type, playinfo.samplerate, and time.remaining show
  But try as I may, I cannot get playlist.title, playlist.album or playlist.artist to show
  What am I missing? The default screensavers show artist, album and title.

[tube]
meter.type = circular
channels = 2
ui.refresh.period = 0.033
bgr.filename = tube-bgr.png
indicator.filename = tube-needle.png
fgr.filename = tube-fgr.png
steps.per.degree = 4
start.angle = 44
stop.angle = -44
distance = 111
left.origin.x = 177
left.origin.y = 350
right.origin.x = 619
right.origin.y = 350
meter.x = 0
meter.y = 130
screen.bgr = all-black.jpg

— volumio optional entries -------

config.extend = True
albumart.pos = 580, 20
albumart.dimension = 200,200
albumart.border = 1
playinfo.title.pos = 20,40,bold
playinfo.artist.pos = 20,80,light
playinfo.album.pos = 20,100,light
playinfo.type.pos = 400,90
playinfo.type.color = 94,91,80
playinfo.type.dimension = 28,28
playinfo.samplerate.pos = 440,90,regular
time.remaining.pos = 400,120
time.remaining.color = 94,91,80
font.size.digi = 32
font.size.light = 14
font.size.regular = 15
font.size.bold = 15
font.color = 250,250,250

I must say this, what am awesome album you’re listening while peppymetering

Can you help me. The system I use is windows x86 and spotify does not move the hands. I don’t have the /etc/spopd.conf file.
Hands are moving in parts such as youtube, usb music

Any idea what would cause these strange artifacts with my meters?

Hello

Is it possible to create the g700m2 for a 7" display (1024x600)
Many greetings

[Gelo5]

Of course you can. Only who wants to do it?
You can do it yourself:Photoshop + Wiki and go.
You can also try others that are already ready. Click on my avatar😈

[Aiello]

hello everyone…what i wanted to ask is it normal that i can’t find a 1280x400 folder, i wanted to make some changes but can’t find a corresponding folder…can someone please help me out? i wanted to edit the blue one in 1280x400 a little…can’t find a background image of it in the folders

[Aiello]

i have tried a little bit, and inserted all 1280x400 screens here from the thread into all folders, and also inserted the meters.txt…nevertheless no new skins are displayed in the selection menu…

[Gelo5]

Where did I put them? To what folder?
1280x400 = Wide

But somewhere there must be a folder “Wide 2 chanel 1280x400” ? [wide 2ch]

[MehmetC]

thanks for your answer 2aCD I do not have such a file where can i find this file

[Aiello]

Hi Gelo … thanks for the help…i have created this folder with wide…have packed all screens, in all folders, and also the masters with all entries, but no matter which mode i select, no screen appears, except the ones that were included with the install

[Gelo5]

Not this folder!

/data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/wide.

[Aiello]

ah okaaayy, i’ll try that…thanks a lot

[Aiello]

I wanted to say thank you again, that worked.

Will peppy also work with fusiondSP, because at the moment there is no sound when both are running, or is there already a fix?

I found the issue. Fusiondsp starts some python3 process that makes run_peppymeter.sh if condition fail. If fusiondsp is not enabled, pgrep -x “python3” , does not return any process whereas it returns if fusiondsp is enabled. This is the issue. Any ideas how to fix this ? EDIT: Fix Without any music playing… nano /data/plugins/miscellanea/peppy_screensaver/peppymeter/run_peppymeter.sh change if ! pgrep -x “python3” > /dev/null to if ! pgrep -f volumio_peppymeter.py > /dev/null ctrl+x…

PS. If you click on my Avatar, you will find several skins for your resolution

Hi. I’ve come late to this project. I’ve followed the thread as it’s gone on but not had the time to join in. I would now like to try it out.

I’ve re-read from the beginning but as the project has grown, I’m now un-certain of which steps are needed to actually get started.

Is it possible for someone to make a simple list of the necessary steps? Once up and running I can work things out for my specific needs.

I know that this looks as though I just want someone to do the work for me but I’ve spent a couple of days getting nowhere.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You only need to have your screen already installed
