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.

Hi BjoernStefan,
I am glad that you are happy.
Please give me some time for your first request.
For the second, please have a look to the PeppyMeter documentation about the creation of meters.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi BjoernStefan,

regarding the first request, copy the file inserted in the attached ZIP in place of the existing one and let me know if it satisfies you. Note that in addition to the stop or pause of both moOde and Spotify, if you have a touch screen, touching it during playback, PeppyMeter is stopped for about 20 seconds.

Regarding the second request, instead, try to see the skins produced by a certain GELO5 (mainly for volumio): choose some suitable for the resolution of your video, send me the references and I will try to make them working (obviously without the metadata (title, author, album and cover)).

Best regards,
Francesco

The instructions you point to were written well before a change was made in the underlying Raspberry Pi OS (back when moOde 8.3.0 was released). In the old days, user "pi" was the default account. Now you have to create the default user account when you flash the image to SD card.

I'm guessing you chose a different username when you flashed the image. If so, change any references to '/home/pi/peppymeter/..." to the correct user directory.

If the default username is "dummy" then the correct command would be "cd /home/dummy/peppyalsa/src" and so forth.

I'd guess it is because the instructions assume that you have a user called "pi".  That would have been the case a few years ago before the security was tightened up.  Now you would (I expect) have to substitute the /pi/ bit with what ever user you set up in the Pi Imager when you put moOde on your SD card.

Again, just guessing, but it sounds like you have not enabled the local display function.

In the moOde webUI (accessed from a browser on another host) go to m > Configure > Peripherals

I don’t have an HDMI touch screen. Someone else will have to jump in here.

Hi everyone! Mind me to ask what is the problem after successfully install peppy on my system and working on a first try to show on my screen. Unfortunately, after restarting the pi no showing any display just only login shell.
