So, you hate the animated bargraph icon?

Nah, I'm not trying to re-engineer the WebUI. It's just that my curiosity about the animation was piqued by the recent posts.


Personally, whether it's animated or static, I seem to need an obvious icon to the left of the now-playing item.

Gotta love SVG. I was using it in the 00's to generate dynamic, data-driven displays in a laboratory setting when only Adobe had a SVG browser worth spit and only my Silicon Graphics workstations had a decent graphics subsystem. Good times.

During my salad days as a student, I was involved in radio as a side hustle way last century. Recently I've been a tech mentor to my grandkids' high school theater group. It feels natural to me to see bouncing meters and/or bars on the console. I still occasionally poke at PeppyMeter to see how I would go about integrating it into moOde as an alternative to CoverView.

Hi Kent,
first of all happy new year. I am very happy to see that you may be interested in integrating PeppyMeter into moOde.
I've already tried asking for help:

but, unfortunately, I never received an answer.
As you already know I am not a valid programmer but, if you want, we can try to start a thread for this IDEA.
You probably already know that someone has integrated PeppyMeter into Volumio and this seems to be the result:




It is one of my dreams to have the VUmeter OLD VINTAGE STYLE in mode, as you described:

"The images in the documentation are still fantastic. The 'vintage' meter reminds me of my days as chief engineer of my college radio station, many decades ago, when vacuum tubes ruled the world."

I'm old enough to remember when (in the late 60's and early 70's here in Italy) HiFi and FM radio started to grow and I began to install and repair those equipments, during the college.

Thanks and best regards,

Francesco
