[PROBLEM] 7.9" Wide display concern

[Tim Curtis]

The basic plumbing for global font size is there but there would need to be a dev dedicated to working through all the CSS and JS that would need to be modified to produce acceptable layouts when font-size is changed.

I have actually a windows PC .

Thank you in avance !

Hi,

that's good

Ok - You need:

• access to Your Raspi/Moode via SSH from Your Windows PC
  I would suggest WinSCP  All Downloads :: WinSCP
  
  there You need to setup a new connection  
  

          File protocol: SFTP
          Host name: well, default should be "moode.local" - please try in Your webbrowser if unsure - You can also use the IP-Address  
          User name: again - default is pi (?) or what You have set in the Pi Imager  
          Password: and again - default is moodeaudio or what You have set in the Pi Imager  

          before saving goto Advanced :   
          -Environment -- SFTP -->   SFTP server: sudo /usr/lib/sftp-server  
          -Environment -- Shell -->   Shell: sudo su -   

          Then save (I would also save the password - but it's up to You)  
          Then connect and move to /home/pi/  
           (maybe it's "pi" - sorry, I have setup another username so I think it should be "pi" by default )  

           there locate the file .xinitrc and double click it  
           at the end of the file You need to add:  

Code:

--kiosk \  
--remote-debugging-port=9222  

          (note the backslash after kiosk !)    

         save and close the file -- hopefully it will be saved without privilege errors!       

          then You need to open a command prompt at the Raspi - with WinSCP you have "Open in PuTTY" in the "commands" menue   
          if You don't have PuTTY (I think it's not automatically installed with WinSCP) get it here: All Downloads :: WinSCP  
          you can put it in a subfolder of the WinSCP installation or else
          then you need to setup the path to putty.exe in WinSCP:
          Preferences --> Integration --> Applications

          After starting PutTTY with WinSCP enter following command:
          systemctl restart localui

          This will restart the chrome-browser on the Raspi - If this is too complicated You can restart it also with Your local browser on the moOde page --> m(enue) --> configure --> Peripherals --> RESTART Local Display

• Create a SSH portforwarding from Your Windows PC
  The SSH-Client needs to be installed:
  Windows Terminal SSH | Microsoft Learn 
  (in Windows Settings > System > Optional features search for "OpenSSH" in your added features.)
  
  if installed, open command-prompt (WIN + r --> cmd --> ok)
  
  at the command-prompt enter:
  ssh -L 9223:127.0.0.1:9222 -N pi@moode.local
  where "pi" is the default user of the raspi and "moode.local" the address of the raspi...
  (in case You have changed the SSH-Port like me, you need to add "-p1234" at the end - and replace "1234" with the portnumber You've set)
  
  then press return - You will be asked for the password - default is "moodeaudio"
  
   if everything is ok, nothing will happen - leave the window open! The connection stays open till You close the window
  
  

Finally start a debug session in the webbrowser
Please use Edge-browser - I've tried chromium, but it's not working properly...
In the Edge-addressbar enter 
edge://inspect
in the "devices" tab --> Discover network targets --> Configure...
create a new entry with 127.0.0.1:9223 
(I have also activated "portforwarding" - dunno if necessary)

After pressing "done" in the pop-up You need to wait a few seconds - then new connections should show
 


click on "inspect"  and an inspector window should open with the screen of Your raspi!  
   
Hope You will get this far!

Cheers, Stephan

PS: Sorry, but the formatting here is a mess

Hello Stephan,

Thank you for this information: with respect to your last exchanges with Tim, I will not go further and wait hopefully for an update of Moode (in the media.css you indicated there is already a part dedicated to my display 400x1280).

Best regards

Hi,

that's a shame - but ok...

I hope that didn't scare you off? It's really not a big thing though it may look like

In the end I would have aimed to create a css file with You personal settings - these settings You would have gained with the remote debugging and changing the font size so that it would fit Your needs...

Well, I don't know when those updates will get real - like Tim said it needs someone who takes care of and it's a lot of work...

Cheers & have a happy new year
