RE: PeppyMeter and moOde - Syma753dfx - 03-04-2025
Second video
[video=youtube]https://youtu.be/fCc974tm60U[/video]
When I launch the command
cd /home/MoOde/PeppyMeter
DISPLAY=:0 python peppymeter.py
the response is
pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.26.5, Python 3.11.2)
Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
I don't know what I have to do to solve it, I reviewed all the steps,
the command /home/MoOde/peppyalsa/src/peppyalsa-client /var/tmp/peppyfifo works
but then when I launch
cd /home/MoOde/PeppyMeter
export DISPLAY=:0.0
sudo python3 peppymeter.py
the gold vu meters appear with the needle stopped.
What do you recommend?
PS. I turned off the audio so I don't have copyright issues on YouTube

Hi Syma753dfx,
would you please post the content of the config.txt (cat /home/MoOde/PeppyMeter/config.tx)?
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco, yes of course, this afternoon, when I get home, I'll post it.

Ciao Ambrogio,
would you please modify the field:
Code:
pipe.name = /home/pi/myfifoin
Code:
pipe.name = /var/tmp/peppyfifoand let us know?
Best regards,

Now for first I would replace Screen blank with vu meter so it could be a screen sever
for second , may I know what do scripts do?
I have read something in this thread but but it's not very clear to me
RE: PeppyMeter and moOde - fdealexa - 03-05-2025
Hi Ambrogio,
I didn't quite understand the first question: there is a solution (recently improved by another GITHUB participant) that automatically STARTs PeppyMeter when moOde PLAYs and STOPs PeppyMeter when moOde PAUSEs or STOPs; is this what you mean (easy implementation)?
Regarding the second question, however, the scripts were preparatory to the two-button solution: one to START and one to STOP PeppyMeter.
Best regards,
Francesco
RE: PeppyMeter and moOde - Syma753dfx - 03-05-2025
Thanks Francesco,
I'll try to explain, in the configurations / peripherals / display, there is an option to darken the screen "screen blank" after a preset time (10 sec, 20 sec ....1 mn etc). I wonder if it is possible to use this command by replacing the black screen with the Peppy Meter.
Cheers

If you click the information icon next to that option, you get
Quote: When playback has stopped the display will be turned off after the specified time period.

That screen blanking option is an XServer function that turns off the screen. It doesn't provide a "hook" for doing something else.
The screen saver options for moode are in Preferences > CoverView. There also is no "hook" in that code for doing something else but IIRC it could be implemented. It would be a good project for an interested dev :-)
