Peppy not in full screen and trouble with calibration #3

Closed Enadeia closed 6 years ago

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I installed my raspberry following all the steps and everything is perfect, until I launch Peppy:

I can't figure out what is wrong, because I installed exactly the same raspbian distribution and followed all the steps as described, the touchscreen worked fine and was well calibrated until I installed and launched Peppy.

I also have no sound playing. When I did the test "speaker-test -Dhw -c2 -tsine -f200" I could hear the speakers working fine. I might have a problem with the config.txt file, because I didn't exactly know what to do with: The following example shows parameters which should be added to the audio section of the config.txt file in order to use mpd on Linux platform:

[audio] server.folder = /usr/bin server.command = mpd client.name = mpdsocket music.folder = /music

As I had not such text in my config.txt file, so I added server.command = mplayer -af volnorm=2:0.75 -idle -slave -quiet -msglevel statusline=6 -msglevel global=6 client.name = mplayer music.folder =

For mplayer. So my config.txt file contains:

**# --- added by Nadia on 03th october

dtoverlay=hifiberry-amp

[audio] server.folder = /usr/bin

server.command = mpd client.name = mpdsocket music.folder = /var/lib/mpd/music

server.command = mplayer -af volnorm=2:0.75 -idle -slave -quiet -msglevel statu$ client.name = mplayer music.folder =**

Maybe I misunderstood what to do with the [audio] section ?

project-owner commented 6 years ago

Congrats! You went a long way already :)

  1. What is the resolution of your touchscreen? The resolution of Peppy screen can be adjusted in file config.txt. Set width and height settings to the size of your touchscreen.
  2. Which Raspbian distribution have you installed?
  3. More likely misbehavior with actions on touchscreen caused by the issue described here: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Pygame Did you follow the steps described there ?
  4. Which audio player have you installed? Is it mpd, mplayer or vlc? You need just one of them. First decide which player you would like to use. You can see functionality available from each player in Pappy in corresponding wiki page for that player. My recommendation is VLC as it's much easier to use. Just let me know what are you planning to use. That will define the content of players.txt file.

When I'm talking about config.txt I mean the file under Peppy player folder. For example if you installed Peppy in folder /home/pi/Peppy/ then the file is /home/pi/Peppy/config.txt

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

Oh OK I was using the /boot/config.txt...

Please let me know if after following steps 1, 2, 3 described above UI works fine in touchscreen. After that we can focus on audio.

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

Thanks, I am glad I could reach this step, thanks for helping too ! My answers to your questions -> *1- I have a *3.5" adafruit display with 480x320. I adjusted it and it works fine now. 2- I installed 2015-09-24-raspbian-jessie-pitft35r 3- I already did the steps described here https://github.com/project- owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Pygame 4- I thought I had to install the 3 of them so that is what I did. I am now planning to use VLC.

I forgot to mention : the display works fine in full screen now but not the touch screen, it's still inverted...

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

I have the following errors in /var/log/syslog if it can help:

Please cleanup file /boot/config.txt - remove all new lines which you added there. Let's assume that step #3 was successful. Then the only thing which can cause the issue which you mentioned is 'rotate' setting for touchscreen driver in file /boot/config.txt. Here is what I have at the bottom of that file: dtoverlay=pitft35r,rotate=90,speed=42000000,fps=20 If you have different setting just set it to 90. If you have 90 try to set it to 0, 180, 270. All this explained here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-3-dot-5-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi/faq?view=all

I believe you installed VLC player and VLC Python binding before. If so you have to set player.name = vlc in audio section of the /home/pi/Peppy/players.txt file. This is the only change you need to make in Peppy player to use VLC.

Have you installed HifiBerry Amp? If so please follow the steps described here: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/HiFiBerry-Amp

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

I changed player to mpd and the sound is working fine now. I can manage Peppy player thru Peppy web UI.

But, I still have troubles with the touchscreen : the display works just fine but when I press somewhere on the screen it is as if the resistive film was set in portrait.

In the /boot/config.txt I have : dtoverlay=pitft35r,rotate=270,speed=42000000,fps=20

rotate 270 because I had to turn the screen upside down. It works fine for the display but not the touchscreen...

project-owner commented 6 years ago

When you install mpd it runs as a service and doesn't allow any other player to use audio system. If you want you can disable mpd service and start using vlc. But if you are planning to use Peppy only for radio functionality mpd should be OK. Only if you would like to play files I would recommend to use vlc instead of mpd.

Have you tried to set rotate=90 ? I think the touchscreen will work only with this setting. Do you need 270 because you have to mount player in enclosure in special position?

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

For the moment I just planned to play radios. I tried 3 times to reinstall the whole system with VLC and I am giving up for now. The sound is working fine with mpd so I will see later for VLC.

When my screen was on 90 until last day I had the same touchscreen trouble... I can't understand

rotate=90 should be OK. I just suspect that step #3 was not successful because of some reason. Have you tried to calibrate after rotation?

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

Hi, I have been trying over and over but could not fix it. I tried to recalibrate manually after rotation, when I launch startx the pointer appears exactly under my stylet. But when I launch Peppy, the pointer appears inverted, I mean left instead of right AND top instead of bottom. I tried to reset everything to 90, recalibrated, launched Peppy, and I still have a weird behavior, the pointer doesn't click where I would like to. My screen is this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2441 I am stucked :/

project-owner commented 6 years ago

I'll try to repeat the whole installation from scratch and see if I'll face the same issue.

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

OK I'll try this, I was sharing the same idea. I'll keep you informed. Thanks !

Please set the following property in /home/pi/Peppy/config.txt to True and let me know if that fixes the issue: use.mouse = True

project-owner commented 6 years ago

I was able to configure everything from scratch and it's working fine (including vlc). If you still have issues I can prepare new wiki page - 'Quick Installation Guide' and list in details all steps required to make system working. That will take a day or two to prepare such page. Please let me know if you need it.

project-owner commented 6 years ago

I modified wiki page about Pygame: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Pygame that should help to update SDL and fix touchscreen issue. I'm still working on step by step guide.

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

OK I am reinstalling the whole project too. Thanks for your updates, and yes, a quick installation guide could help me, it would be very nice of you if you could write this ! I'll keep you informed.

I completed the guide: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Installation-Guide if you follow all steps you should be able to run the system without any issues. I'll update other wiki pages later on. It would be great to distribute SD Card images but I don't know where I could host so large files (GBs). GitHub doesn't allow to host such big files.

While working on all this stuff I found that there is a bug in Audiobooks. It's currently not working. But this is separate story.

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

I was thinking about posting an image file too. Could be hosted somewhere else with a link on github ? Thanks a lot for the installation guide, I will check it right now :) The good news is : I reinstalled the whole system and the screen and touch area are working fine ! It's a really nice UI. But no sound is coming, the speakers are working as I can hear the test speaker-test -Dhw -c2 -tsine -f200 The console says : ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hifiberry

That happens because VLC was not properly configured (I hope you use VLC). Please check section 'Install Peppy Player' of the guide in particular instructions about VLC configuration.

Enadeia commented 6 years ago

Yes I am on this section of the documentation. I use VLC and in /home/pi/Peppy/players.txt I have

[vlc.linux]

server.command = --aout=alsa --alsa-audio-device=hifiberry --verbose=-1

I dont get exactly what I have to change ? Replace hifiberry with hw ?
