OK, I'm still not sure that the player should be completely shutdown. Probably running pygame.quit() could release resources. Though I didn't try it myself.
Good luck in your investigations. Please keep me informed.
Hi Koepisch, I was planning to make Peppy player the best audio player first and then switch to video ;) I believe video needs different backend player. It can be either omxplayer as it has hardware acceleration or VLC compiled with hardware acceleration. Currently Peppy player leverages regular VLC...
New version (Cranach Edition) of the Peppy Player was just released.

Hi Koepisch, I believe you are talking about 'Logo' screensaver. If so, you can adjust the image size by changing configuration parameter 'vertical.size.percent' in the screensaver configuration file: /home/pi/Peppy/screensaver/logo/screensaver-config.txt. You can do that from the Config Web UI too....
Hi Koepisch, Your code for 7" display was used as the base in Peppy player. I made just some minor modifications to support sliding actions and long press. Your work was very helpful. Thanks a lot! Also I tried to address your other requirements. For example the ability to change color theme. You ca...
Hi Koepisch, Unfortunately Peppy player doesn't have UI for connecting Bluetooth devices. So right now it's a manual process: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Bluetooth-Devices Though I'm planning to add one. I hope that eventually the player will have UI for all required configuratio...
Yeah, I had the same bad experience with PocketSphinx on Windows machine. It's out-of-the-box functionality is not usable. You need to train the model. But if you are making the software which will be used by other people you cannot ask them to do that. In contrast to that any web based solution (e....

If your system will have the Internet access there is one more option - use Yahoo!Weather web service. You can provide either your city and country or latitude/longitude and the service will return weather conditions for today and forecast. That info also includes sunrise and sunset times. Here is t...
Right now the configuration process of IR Remote Control using LIRC is a manual process. Is it possible to automate it somehow and avoid the need to go to the command line and run multiple utilities and change multiple files? Ideally just to show some simple UI, ask to press buttons and generate eve...
I didn't even notice that
Anyway, I was saying that the spotipy library looks like as if it was abandoned and has many unresolved issues: https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/issues/387
Hi, I'd like to implement simple Spotify client in Python for primary Spotify user - show playlist, select track from the playlist and play that track. What are the recommended libraries which I could use for that? I see that libspotify is deprecated. Should I use spotifyd or anything else? Or shoul...
PocketSphinx is another option: https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx There are many tutorials on web how to install it on Raspberry Pi. I believe in general web based systems are more lightweight though they need the Internet connection. Also you need to setup account in order to use the servic...
I have tried to translate to Polish some parts of the player - weather-config.txt and radio folder names under radio-stations folder. If you want to see the rest labels in Polish you need to translate/localize the file labels.properties. You can get the files which I prepared here: https://github.co...

The current version of the Pygame library leverages libsdl1.2. The version of the libsdl1.2 on Raspbian Buster OS has the issues with touchscreens. One of the solutions is to build that library with proper touchscreen support. This solution was suggested by Gerhard the author of NewtronRadio https:/...
