Waveshare has several models of the 5" display. The disk image works with the model which looks like this: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61zCVFPtA0L._SL1158_.jpg If you have different model then you need to install the Headless disk image then install display driver on top of it. ...
I didn't try it myself (still have several RPi 3), so I cannot say for sure but I don't see any reason why it would not work. If anybody tried please let me know. Thank you!
This is a well-known "feature" of the official 7" touchscreen. It has a non-square pixel. It's extended horizontally. This was discussed several times already. Unfortunately you will not find this info in the technical specification.
Weird, it works for me with Raspbian Buster Lite OS. The whole Peppy player UI is based on Pygame and it works under 'pi' user. I start it from /etc/rc.local this way:
su pi -c 'cd /home/pi/Peppy; openvt -s -- python3 peppy.py'
You can try to run your program the same way openvt ...
Hi Daniel, What's the size/resolution of the HDMI displays which you've ordered? In all Peppy Player disk images which I distribute I use console mode for UI which is based on Raspbian Lite OS. It means that the player's UI is the only UI and there is no desktop UI. At the moment I don't know how to...
Hi meanmeech, You touched very interesting and very large topic ;) I’m afraid it’s impossible to realise your ideas using current code. I hope you’ve seen the Peppy Meter wiki pages already: https://github.com/project-owner/PeppyMeter.doc/wiki It can give you some idea what could be currently done i...
Если у вас питание подключено, то малина полностью не выключается, она всё-равно потребляет около 50-60 мА после poweroff или shutdown. Если для вас это не критично, то можете добавить кнопку между 5 и 6 контактами GPIO разъёма. И ещё одну строку в файл /boot/config.txt: dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown Посл...
Regarding web development, you probably found web/server and web/client folders. It's pretty clear and obvious code separation. Under web/client there are two sub-folders: config and configdev. The former one is used in "production". It contains compiled/compressed code used during runtime in browse...
Hi, So far I was the only developer for this project therefore no need to provide any info for the dev env setup :) The player is a cross-platform app that means you can make cross-platform development as well. My main development platform for the player is my Windows 10 desktop. You just need to in...
Sounds good, just some comments before you start coding. Peppy is a free and open-source project distributed under GPL v3 license: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy/blob/master/LICENSE You have to agree that your code will be distributed under this license. Please place the corresponding licens...
Hi, You have pretty advanced setup and your new planned features look very interesting. If you are experienced developer and if you could implement those features it would be very good addition to the player. In order to start working on code you need to create a Github account if you don't have it ...
Hi, You need to answer the following questions: - How many voltages do you need? Do you need only the single +5V or you also need +12V or any other voltage? - What is the power consumption of each component in your system? It's usually defined by the consumed current measured either in mA or A. Mult...
2019 Year Summary The following image highlights the most important features introduced in the Peppy Player this year. It also shows the number of disk images downloads per release. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/master/images/sketches/summary-2019.jpg What's next? The fir...
MrGibbage, You correctly described the slideshow functionality. When the screensaver starts it loads all images from the defined folder into memory cache to eliminate disk I/O operations. I did not make any load testing. So it's hard to say how many images it can handle. It depends on your Pi model/...
Hi MrGibbage, I've never tried to install 7" over 3.5". That's why I cannot guarantee that all that stuff installed by LCD-show can co-exist with 7" driver. My recommendation would be to use separate SD card for 3.5" and the other for 7" just in case you'll decide to go back. Another recommendation ...
Hi MrGibbage, The player handles m3u playlists itself. It reads the file and feeds filenames from that file to audio players (vlc etc) one by one. It doesn't handle directives which you can have in EXTM3U comments. So simple M3U is enough. I have a pretty long list of requirements for the next relea...
Hi MrGibbage, As you mentioned that extra slash should not affect anything but I'll check from where it comes. You have really long playlist :) The player automatically plays the next track in the folder. That can eliminate the need in using playlist if it lists all files in the folder in alphabetic...
Hi Koepisch, Your info will be useful during Bluetooth UI implementation. I hope to make it in the next release. It should simplify the connection process and eliminate all manual steps. It should be possible to get track info and cover art from raspotify. I just didn't implement that. I implemented...
Hi Koepisch, I think there can be one more configuration parameter for the Slideshow screensaver: sorted=True as sometimes I prefer random order I have fixed the wiki page about Bluetooth configuration (bluetoothctl connect): https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Bluetooth-Devices Regardin...
