[PROBLEM] MoOde 7.3 unresponsive after 4-5 hours with Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display

[gforster]

I have tried the modification proposed (replace Chromium with Firefox, as explained in http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.p...9#pid33369).

I can confirm it works ok, so I'm keeping it for the moment. I prefer this than staying in 6.7.1.

OTOH, the result is less nice: 1) the fonts are way too small, 2) it does not scroll by swiping, i.e. to go to the end of the list of songs I need to slide the sidebar, 3) overlay scrollbars not there.

Firefox must have a ton of options + a ton of extensions. I'll take the Pi home (where I can connect it to the network) and I'll have a look and see if I can make it look better.

I do confirm that the overlay scrollbars are not there. It is not an issue to me, as I wanted to have a working moOde player with a decent new version.
To your point #1 regarding font size: Try to change the font size: "moOde menue => Preferences => Appearance => Font Size".
There are several options to set it to the way you like it: "Smaller, Small, Normal, Large, Larger, X-Large"

Thanks for the suggestion!

1) the fonts are way too small  -> solved. In the MoOde menu -> Preferences -> Set font size to "Larger". Thanks @gforster!
2) it does not scroll by swiping  -> solved. Edit file /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to launch firefox using the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 environment variable as follows:

Code:

"env MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 /usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk --private-window http://localhost",

3) overlay scrollbars not there  -> still looking...

Cool, thx a lot @jv275475 for the great idea to solve the swipe issue by using MOZ_USE_XINPUT2. Will update my system bshortly y applying your fix.
Looking forward to hear back from you regarding a solution for the overlay scrollbars in firefox. There should be a way to "blind" the scrollbars by standard background color and just enable the scrollbars for a dedicated time periode once a swipe event is detected.
