yes i run through the same issue and made the volume higher. absolutey not good!!!
have to be fixed like FFrank suggested.
If screensaver is on, the first touch should not be recognized as a touch in the GUI

would be nice if this yould be implemented

Could anybody from the team give some feedback here?
Thanks.

This is really annoying.

+1

yes very annoying and its time to implement an wake up touch for the screensaver that is not registered in the GUI :cry:

I’m currently working on extending the touch display plugin. While the request posted here https://forum.volumio.org/raspi-display-touch-plugin-some-changes-needed-t11840.html#p62098 will not be addressed it will presumably have the following features:

Options for screen saver will allow setting the timeout until the screen will be set to DPMS state “off” (no fancy graphics, pictures or the like). Further more it will be possible to block the screen saver as long as Volumio is in playing state.

For the Raspberry Foundation 7" touch screen the screen brightness can be set. Further more there will probably be an option for automatic brightness regulation in dependence of the ambience brightness which of course requires additional hardware (ambient light sensor).

For the Raspberry Foundation 7" touch screen there will be an option to rotate the display by 180°.

There will also be an option to set the visibility of the mouse pointer.

I think I’m pretty much done but will need some time testing and bug squashing before I will issue an PR on GitHub.

P.S. The issue of the plugin install process hanging in cases where keyboard-configure is infinitely waiting for a user response is also expected to be fixed.

Hi gvolt,

this are very good news. Sounds promising!

Regards!

Hi,
this sound all very promising - great.

I am looking foreward to check all this!

But what do you mean with this:

Thanks.
Best.
Fabian

The screensaver will not show animations, pictures but set the screen to DPMS mode “off” which results in a black screen.

@gvolt, how do we get your new version?
Thanks.
Best.
Fabian

yes, how do we get your new version???

Sorry for the long-lasting silence… but sometimes real life gets in the way :angry:

I did not publish the plugin yet but plan to this weekend if all goes well. I will open a PR on Volumio’s github account and also load up the plugin’s files including a zip package to my github account.

Plugin has been published - finally :wink:

See the PR https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/pull/338. On my github account https://github.com/gvolt/volumio-touch_display-plugin/releases/latest you can download a .zip file packed with the necessary node modules.

Hello. I decided to deal with the display quite recently. How it is correct to install your plugin? Interests the sequence of actions.

I am also interested in how to correctly install the plug-in.

  1. If you previously did install the touch_display plugin from the plugin store please uninstall it before proceeding.

  2. Then connect to Volumio via ssh.

  3. If you had installed the touch_display plugin from the plugin store you need to remove /data/volumiokiosk:

sudo rm -r /data/volumiokiosk
  1. Download the plugin package
wget https://github.com/gvolt/volumio-touch_display-plugin/releases/download/v1.1.0/touch_display_1_1_0.zip 
  1. Create a directory for unzipping the plugin package
mkdir touch_display_1_1_0
  1. Unzip the plugin package to the newly created directory
miniunzip touch_display_1_1_0.zip -d touch_display_1_1_0
  1. Change into the directory with the unzipped files
cd touch_display_1_1_0
  1. Install the plugin
volumio plugin install

Thanks for the plug-in en the work you put into it.

It’s working perfectly [emoji16]

michel8166, thanks a lot trying it out.

I am hoping for my pull request on github to be reviewed, too, and that the plugin will be downloadable from the plugin store…

Friends, possibly I made not everything as it is necessary. Did installation on clean volumio. Previously sudo apt-get update and install python. The plugin was installed, but the display does not react to touches. My RasberryPI display is connected to asus tinker board. In settings the plugin is activated. Help. Also excuse for my English.

I do know that the command sudo apt-get upgrade causes the system of errors with with sudo apt-get update I don’t know.
I think it would be best not to use the sudo apt-get update command but simply to update it via the volumio interface.

or a reboot of volumio also sometimes helps.

volumio.github.io/docs/FAQs/Upd … nance.html

maybe you can do something with it.

The plugin does not manipulate the touch funcionality so it should not be the culprit (hope so :wink: ).

Do you know what modules have to be loaded to run the original raspberry touch display on Tinker board? Please post the output of

lsmod

To rule out that apt-get update and/or installing python have been breaking touch I would also recommend to start with a fresh system without these extra actions.
