What doesn’t start automatically? Peppymeter or the whole volumio?
Still image too big?

Add one more like this:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
set: PermitRootLogin yes and reboot

userconfig.txt: ONLY this
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 3 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=2

In Peppymeter set: custom_4 (1920x1080)

Is the problem that volumio is to big or peppy meter or both.

And all clear. I was looking for why the skin does not fit the screen - and this is your skin. Ah …

Did you install it as the plugin from posting 7 of this topic?

Yes, I installed from the plugin without issues

Here is my screen, as luck would have it also an advance acoustic :slight_smile:

Very cool setup!
Do you run a stand-alone PeppyMeter on the left/right blocks? How do you send the VU Meter signal from the player to the left/right blocks?
Thanks!

@peppy.player

I think the left and right boxes are “Advance Acoustics X-A220EVO

So that’s a big compliment for the build Volumio case :smile:

Oops, the player box really looks very similar to those commercial boxes. Though costs much less I believe :slight_smile:

Actually the PeppyMeter can send a VU Meter signal over a local network using the HTTP protocol. In a fast local network the lag is almost negligible. So, theoretically the same setup could be done using the PeppyMeter as a source on the player box and running stand-alone PeppyMeter application on other boxes. Each box would need a Pi and a local network connection.

Exactly, they are real analogue VU meters. The Amps are two Advance Acoustics X-A220EVO Monoblocks

@Aiello inspired me to make 2 skins (Adv X220Evo and Adv X220)

Installed a cooling fan. Description by link:

After installing the startup script, PeppyMater stopped working. Can this be fixed?. Thanks.

Uninstall the script.
