PeppyMeter and moOde

[fdealexa]

Hi kuyadreiph,v
I would like to go in order:
1. Install from scratch moOde on your system, with "pi" as user and verify that everything works including display and touch (even after a reboot).
2. Install peppymeter step by step as reported in github and verify that everything works in manual command mode (even after a reboot).
3. Eventually, if you want, install the automatic start of peppymeter.
During the whole process, we try to verify and correct any anomalies.
Regards,
Francesco

Hello,
I have installed peppymeter and run successfully.
Regarding to the "autostart", I didn't find the "metadata" option in 9.3.2.
I remember there somewhere else in previous version of moode. But I can't find it now.

Code:

Menu /
Configure /
System Config /
Local Services

Hi Francesco
Thanks. I set it and re-do the step.
Still nothing happen when "play" music. 
I have no touch screen so I edit "exit.on.touch = False"

I download fda_autopeppy.py from raw file. is it correct?

Best regards,

Hi Karas,
some questions:
1. Does the peppymeter correctly running if you run it by command line?

Code:

cd /home/pi/PeppyMeter
DISPLAY=:0 python peppymeter.py

2. What is the output at the following command?

Code:

sudo service fda_autopeppy status

3. Have you got any error message during the installation?

Best regards,
Francesco

Hi dev! Thank you i am happy that i manage to work with peppy without any problem. And, mind me to ask if if its possible to add vu meter skin that has not included in the default vu meter? 
And, 
I am a bit struggling also on how to transfer my file music to my moode system via filezilla. It says access denied. 
I am currently using usb drive as bootable and also want to add/transfer my files to the allocated in my usb drive. 

Thank you
