the best way is to use one of the following modes: 4, 19, 60 or 62 to have full screen in width and parzially in height with the WIDE meters;
or one of these modes to have partially in width and in height, with the LARGE meters.
To enable the mode you have to add in the /boot/config.txt (sudo nano /boot/config.txt) the following rows:
Code: hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=19
Please put 4 or 19 or 60 or 62 in the row "hdmi_mode="
Of course you have to modify the peppymeter config.txt (nano /home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt) for the resolutions:
Code: screen.width = 1280
screen.height = 720
and
or
Later you can fix the meter of your choice, changing
with the meter name (for example)
or
etc.
please let me know if it is not clear.
Best regards,
Francesco
Sure Francesco, does this looks right ---

otg_mode=1
[pi4]
hdmi_force_hotplug:0=1
hdmi_force_hotplug:1=1

Please, before to start peppymeter would you give the command:
tvservice -s -v 2
to see if the resolution change has been correct
Thanks

Why PeppyMeter on MoOde only supports four resolutions (320x240, 480x320, 800x480 and 1280x400 pixels)? I just moved from Volumio to MoOde. I was using PeppyMeter on Volumio with a 5.5 inch 1290x1080 AMOLED touchscreen and it looked great. I got PeppyMeter installed on MoOde, but unfortunately is does not support 1920x1080 pixels.

Hi carloss66,
the peppymeter itself has 4 resolutions only, please have a look to the PeppyMeter Wiki.
These are the Key Features:
Quote:Key Features
Here are the key features of the program:
- Written in Python.
- Pygame library leveraged for UI purposes.
- UI is available in four resolutions 320x240, 480x320, 800x480 and 1280x400 pixels.
- The input for the program is the data from the named pipe. That signal should be provided by the peppyalsa plugin.
- Supplies 25 default meters for the resolutions 320x240, 480x320 and 800x480.
- Supplies 8 default meters for the resolution 1280x400.
- Allows to add your own meters.
- Open-source. All source files are available on Github.
- Several data sources are available for testing and tuning.
- Provides five output types: Display, Serial, I2C, PWM and HTTP.
What you see (on the other player) is an interface (at bigger resolution) that include a meter at one of the (four) original resolutions.
As I know, at the moment, it is not available on moOde; what I did ( Github) is the possibility to run PeppyMeter (at his resolutions) in the moOde environment.
best regards and thanks,
Francesco

@ fdealexa Hey Francesco,
Quick note and thanks for your excellent instructions to get PeppyMeter to work with Moode. I installed it with the latest version of Moode, which asks during the setup for a username (other than "pi" for security reasons). Since I used another username there is no directory created called "pi", and thus all the scripts were thrown off. Took me a while to figure that one out, but once I corrected everything to the correct paths it is working fabulously! Thought you should know as I am probably not the only one who ran into that. Add a note to your instructions :-)?

Hi pisuke74,
The instruction reported in the GITHUB are correct for 8.3.6 if the default user is "pi".
For different user I hadn't the possibility to test yet.
If you need any help, please, describe your hardware configuration (eg. display used, related connection, resolution, etc.) and report some screenshot by the terminal console like:
the result of
Code: /home/pi/peppyalsa/src/peppyalsa-client /var/tmp/peppyfifo
and the end of the installation of peppymeter.
Important is also the config.txt in the peppymeter directory.
Best regards,
Francesco
