Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display -- Standby - ToinoBiclas - 05-27-2021

First of all kudos for the awesome work done in Moode

I have a couple of issues using the latest build one of them being airplay not working (the DAC is a Chord Mojo, but even if i set the bitrate correctly as recommended in the forums there's no sound coming out)

I can live without airplay after all its limits are about CD quality ... but there's another thing that bothers me in Moode. Currently my setup includes an Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display but the screen never goes to standby no matter how much time i set it to go to sleep.

Was expecting the display to go to sleep after the amount of minutes set in the settings but, that's not the case. It is always on regardless of being playing music or not.

Any place to look at, logs?

Looks ok.

Below is the help for the xset command. The command used in moOde "xset s 300" should cause screen blank to occur after 5 minutes. https://shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html

Code:
pi@rp2:~ $ xset

usage:  xset [-display host:dpy] option ...

    To turn bell off:

        -b                b off               b 0

    To set bell volume, pitch and duration:

         b [vol [pitch [dur]]]          b on

    To disable bug compatibility mode:

        -bc

    To enable bug compatibility mode:

        bc

    To turn keyclick off:

        -c                c off               c 0

    To set keyclick volume:

         c [0-100]        c on

    To control Energy Star (DPMS) features:

        -dpms      Energy Star features off

        +dpms      Energy Star features on

         dpms [standby [suspend [off]]]     

              force standby 

              force suspend 

              force off 

              force on 

              (also implicitly enables DPMS features) 

              a timeout value of zero disables the mode 

    To set the font path:

         fp= path[,path...]

    To restore the default font path:

         fp default

    To have the server reread font databases:

         fp rehash

    To remove elements from font path:

        -fp path[,path...]  fp- path[,path...]

    To prepend or append elements to font path:

        +fp path[,path...]  fp+ path[,path...]

    To set LED states off or on:

        -led [1-32]         led off

         led [1-32]         led on

        -led named 'name'   led off

         led named 'name'   led on

    To set mouse acceleration and threshold:

         m [acc_mult[/acc_div] [thr]]    m default

    To set pixel colors:

         p pixel_value color_name

    To turn auto-repeat off or on:

        -r [keycode]        r off

         r [keycode]        r on

         r rate [delay [rate]]

    For screen-saver control:

         s [timeout [cycle]]  s default    s on

         s blank              s noblank    s off

         s expose             s noexpose

         s activate           s reset

    For status information:  q

    To print version: -version

pi@rp2:~ $

It's not obvious to me why it's not working in your case . I have a 7" touch and when I get some spare cycles I'll run a test.

Screen-blanking timeout has worked fine for me with my official RP 7-in Touch Display through multiple releases of moOde including 7.2.1.

I leave most system config settings at their default values. (Note, I've used this display only on RPi3B+ and RPi4B models.)

Perhaps OP has something running which is keeping the screen active?

Kent

Using a pi4B btw

Did a couple of testing and had some success by

Code:
export DISPLAY=:0

in ~/.bash_profile

Along with deactivating the feature in Moode configuration to turn-on the display if playing music <---- this was the magic trick although i don't have anything playing at the moment (at least none that i'm aware off Big Grin

)
