PeppyMeter and moOde

[fdealexa]

Hi.
Please help. I did a fresh install of the latest Modee. Installed as instructed by PeppyMeter.
I get this message when I start.
root@Pi4:/home/pi# cd /home/pi/PeppyMeter
root@Pi4:/home/pi/PeppyMeter# sudo python3 peppymeter.py

Where did I go wrong please?
I have PI4, Usb dac IFI, 7,9 display waveshare.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Roman,
the "libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile" it is a warning only. It is due to a different colour definition in the .png files (3 messages for each displayed vumeter type); the other 4 lines are normal message for a forced program stop (^C).
So the message you see are normal; if you don't see anything let us try the follow:
1. when you start the peppymeter (sudo python3 peppymeter.py), what does it happen on the display?
2. what is the resolution of your display?
3. could you please send the result of the

Code:

cat /home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt

 
Best regards,
Francesco

1. After entering the command, the display only flashes. You cannot stop the program even with the reboot command. Only disconnect the power supply

Hi Roman,
let's try changing (in config.txt) from:
meter.size = large
to
meter.size = wide

Bingo...That's it.
Thank you very much for the quick help.
Thank you very much.

Hi Roman,
now you can choice the vumeter you want, instead of the rotation.
Glad you are happy.
Best regards,

I would send you a photo, but I can't insert it here.
I'm probably too old for this

Hi Francesco.
I'm asking for advice. It's already embarrassing to bother me all the time.
Peppy is working, but since yesterday the pointer has stopped working. It's standing still and I don't know what happened.
Can you advise please?
Regards
Roman

Hello Roman,
have you changed anything?
Please try to see if the Fifo is running:

Code:

/home/pi/peppyalsa/src/peppyalsa-client /var/tmp/peppyfifo

 
Listening the music you should see on the putty screen a couple of bar moving with the music intensity.


Please let us know.

Francesco
