I checked the problems I have when I was installing an earlier version. You advised me to delay the start of Peppy player by adding these lines:
sudo /etc/rc.local
and add delay before player startup line:
sleep 10
su pi -c 'cd /home/pi/Peppy; openvt -s -- python3 peppy.py'
However, Peppy is now a service. Is it still possible to add a delay?
Thanks for fixing the font problem. I will apply the fix and check.
As for the freezing problem. I had the player running overnight in idle. This morning when I checked, the player is frozen. Wonder if it has anything to do with the touch. I did not install any touchscreen S/W as Waveshare only documents the touchscreen software installation for calibration. Could that be the problem?
I did try to install the software from scratch on a 4" Miuzei display. It did take a long time. I had the player running but could not get the touch to work. I checked my previous notes and Googled the problem, that seems to be a common problem with this display. A lot of people could not get the touch to work.
