Hi Everybody,
i’d like to tell, that above mentioned screen works out of the box!
Display via HDMI and touch via USB, very nice handling.
Only drawback is: Volumio doesn’t use the full size of the screen for the display, there is a 1 1/2 cm wide black border around the whole display. On the other hand, volumio uses full size for touch input, so moving to the border leads to divergence between display and touch-input.
Question: is there a possibility to force volumio to use full size of the screen for the display?
Best regards,
Matula

In reply to Georg Matejka. Got it running, thanks to Gordon from IqAudio. I did not connect the yellow and the green cable, red and black for power supply is enough.

Hi guys,

i’m just wondering, if a screen like the one below is working with PI/Volumio?

Just couldn’t get the original raspberry pi display running together with an iqaudio-digi-amp. They both are hat-devices, so maybe there is some i2s-problem? Something in particular to consider? Or should I just try another amplifier like the seemingly magnificient allo-boss? I tried various combinations and wirings, having set all the wires no more music comes out! So any help is appreciated!
Best
Georg

I have the following screen
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/10.1inch_HDMI_LCD_(H)_(with_case)#How_to_use_Raspberry_Pi_with_LCD.3F

I have volumio all working but i just cant get the touchscreen working at all. I have tried to add some line to the config.txt but still nothing and i have also installed the touch display plugin but nothing.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I just set this up and it’s nice how everything works quite out of the box (note: I’m not a Linux afficionado).

However, what I dislike is that while using my PC browser or smartphone as “remote control” works well, everything get’s very laggy when using the touchscreen (slow scrolling, delayed playback, things like that). However, this might be homemade, as I’m still on a RPi B+. What’s your experience with newer RPis? Can I expect more speed?

Also, what annoys me is that the display goes black after a couple of minutes. Is there a way to prevent this? I’d like to have the album art and metadata visible at all times.

And, finally, after the first reboot the tabs on the screen don’t read “Playback”, “Browse”, etc anymore, but something more cryptic like :common.tab_playback and common.tab_browse. How can I revert this?

In reply to Xander. I've had this same problem... I reboot with Volumio flashed and it pops up as volumio login. I used volumio/volumio and it seemed to login, but now I'm left at the volumio@volumio:~$ prompt. Any luck figuring out how to navigate back to GUI?
