      Very nice! Is there any way you could share this with the community as a
      3rd party applet? Or did you patch the files directly?

        I did edits to the .lua within the Joggler skin only problem is in the 7" skin i've had to turn off the analog dials as they shared code with the spectrum analyser which i tinkered with so things went out of alinement so turned off, also with the HD skin i had to turn off analog dials and text only skin due to alinement problems

        Will post new HD skin later but have done a couple of vids showing 7" skin plus how to move over to the Picoreplayer plus links to files

              It's a mock-up as it has confusing math to move into the right place so may try resizing image to move about but Yay or Nay with the Analog VU Meter

                After 3 days i got it working

                Does anyone have a little bit more understanding of the code for the Analog VU Meter as you can't move about like the Spectrum Visualizer and after scratching my head for 3 days i sort of worked out that the code sort of opens a windows which you then have to make sure the meter image is placed within the space ie i added the Meter image to a 10000 x 1080 image then moved within that space

                Did just try adding a zOrder = to see if layer could just be moved up but couldn't get it working so did above with trial and error

                Update
                Think i understand why it works that way as you would see the whole image of meters otherwise

                  I've managed to make some mini meters which are sort of working for a 7" screen problem is the normal file is 10000 x 453 which i've scaled down so image is now 5000 x on a 480 background still with the 25 animated frames, problem is i think a setting needs to be changed which i can't find to set a 5000 width as meters have a wobble

                  Did find this on github https://github.com/ralph-irving/tcz-...er/VUMeter.lua but my VUMeter.lua file is different



                  Forget about above it's stated working ok after redoing my image file

                    Picoreplayer final end game done

                    After about a month of not having a clue about coding everything is done

                    It was a nightmare but still fun learning stuff, just remember you will spend days even weeks failing but you will still learn stuff even when it fails so give it a go just make sure you have lots of coffee on hand

                    Output from HDMI of Pi before it get loaded onto my main player

                        All done just a vid showing what it looks like loaded onto the Pi with 7" screen will post files later if anyone wants to test but remember only meters that work for now are the Blue Glow as other meter types will have to be edited for them to work

                          Great work! Well done!
                          Looking forward to trying it out.

                            It looks really good! I like the flat style!

                            This would really be great! A new skin-option (or two, one for 7“ and one for Full-HD) and a new VU-Meter would be a great addition!!

                              can this VUMeter Skin be used on Squeezeplay?

                              Very cool, is it somehow possibile to run it on a SqueezePlay client running on a PC/Mac?

                                I downloaded pcp-jivelite.tcz and VU_Meter_Blue_Glow.tcz to my piCorePlayer, but after a reboot it doesn‘t start jivelite any more.
                                If I understand your videos correctly, JogglerSkinApplet.lua is part of pcp-jivelite.tcz, or do I have to exchange it in your new pcp-jivelite.tcz too?
                                Or is there some other thing I have to change before I exchange the files?
