Peppy player

[Humble.Pi]

Thanks for your help, I finally got it to work (I was trying to log into a neighbor's raspberry pi).
This is a great system, very useful, polished and well documented. So nice to see this kind of work done!

Today the number of the Peppy Player disk image downloads from GitHub exceeded 10,000 since 10.30.2018
There is no exact statistics avialable for source code downloads. Using a rough estimate (12 downloads per week) it's another 3,000 downloads.

First of all, thank you for this great piece of software. After some problems, I got it to run with a 3,5" display from ELGOO (from Amazon.de).

May I ask for a wish/feature?
My son would like to use the peppy player as an alarm clock radio at bed. Therefore the use case would be: screensaver with clock = on, if alarm time arrived, activate player with last station/song (even better: activate special alarm stream/song).

Any chance that you can/want to implement this feature?

Thanks and best regards,
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,

Thank you!
The Alarm Clock functionality which you described is very similar to the current Timer functionality:

The only missing parts are Clock screensaver and dedicated sound. I believe it should not take too much time to implement. Hopefully I can add this feature in the next version (tentative release date - September).

Best regards
