PeppyMeter and moOde

[BjoernStefan]

Hi BjoernStefan,
please find below some action to do:

1. Remove Autostart and restore config default value

Code:

sudo rm -r /home/pi/PeppyMeter
sudo systemctl disable fda_autopeppy.service
sudo rm -r /etc/systemd/system/fda_autopeppy.service 

     restore the parameter in the config.txt

Code:

nano /home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt

    going to replace the content of only the line below and leaving everything else unchanged:

Code:

"exit.on.touch = False"

2. And then install the new version  (has been easyer to modify - thanks to Cloporte33440)

   install evdev lib

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-evdev

    # manually unzip and copy peppymeter.control.py and peppymeter_control.service to /home/pi/PeppyMeter/ (File Attached)

   create and start service

Code:

sudo cp /home/pi/PeppyMeter/peppymeter_control.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable peppymeter_control
sudo service peppymeter_control start

Best regards and let us know,
Francesco

Hello Francesco firstly my sincere thank you for your prompt reply and suggestions !

After some initial issues due to my lack of software knowledge I got it working for WebRadio as well as Spotify in auto-mode !
For the first time after many weeks of trying.

What I would like to check with you if its possible to have the VU meters switch off between two songs on Spotify
to allow to show the album cover ? 
At the moment they start with the first song and stay on even if I pause Spotify.

I have seen that some people have modified the VU meter design to allow artwork to show up in-between the left and right 
VU meter but my first choice would be to have them start and stop with the music.
Not sure if that option is available.

I have an odd size HDMI touch screen of 1080x1920 and presently the VU meters are pretty small.
My next goal is to make them fill the entire screen (hopefully I can find ready made designs for that).

Once again thanks for your advice given.
