Home Screen

The Home screen serves the dispatching purposes. From this screen you can start using a particular functionality of the Peppy player.

Here is the default Home Screen:

The following image shows the Home Screen with almost all modes enabled:

Arrow keys (on a IR remote control or keyboard) should be used to navigate through the mode menu. To select playback mode press OK on a remote control, Enter on a keyboard or touch the menu item on a touchscreen.

Peppy player currently supports the following modes:

• Radio. Switch to the Radio Station screen.
• Radio-Browser. Switch to the Radio Browser screen.
• Audio Files. Switch to the File Playback Screen.
• Audiobooks Player. Switch to the Audiobooks Player.
• Stream. Switch to the Stream Screen (disabled by default).
• CD Player. Switch to the CD Player (disabled by default).
• Podcasts Player. Switch to the Podcasts Player.
• AirPlay. Switch to the AirPlay Player (disabled by default).
• Spotify Connect. Switch to the Spotify Connect Player (disabled by default).
• Collection. Switch to the Collection Screen (disabled by default).
• Bluetooth Sink. Switch to the Bluetooth Sink mode.
• YA Streams. Switch to the YA Streams mode.
• Jukebox. Switch to the Jukebox mode.
• Archive. Switch to the Archive mode.
• Catalog. Switch to the Catalog mode.

Each mode can be enabled/disabled in the configuration file /home/pi/Peppy/config.txt in section home.menu. Here are the default settings:

[home.menu]
radio = True
radio-browser = False
audio-files = True
audiobooks = True
stream = False
cd-player = False
podcasts = True
airplay = False
spotify-connect = False
collection = False
bluetooth-sink = False
ya-streams = False
jukebox = False
archive = False

When the particular mode was disabled it will not show up in the Home menu. If there is no Internet connection then modes which depend on the Internet (Radio, Audiobooks and Stream) will be greyed-out:

The navigation menu is completely configurable. All items can be shown/hidden by changing configuration parameters in config.txt (section home.navigator). The following example shows the navigator with all items enabled in one case and only four items enabled in the other case.
