    Hi. I’m making a squeezebox player using a HiFi Berry with a 7 inch screen. It all works well with max2play and jivelite except that the screen is upside down! I see there is a command to rotate the screen, but how do I enter it in max2play?

    Many thanks

    Hi Rick,
    There should be a control box in the web interface menu for your display (RPi Touchdisplay plugin) to automatically rotate your screen if this happens.

    add lcd-rotate=2 in config.txt and it will get the correct orientation at boot.

    Hello all and happy new year to everyone.

    this topic is old but my question is related to it.
    I managed to rotate my screen by 180 degrees but the problem is that the touchscreen hasn’t followed the rotation.
    My display is rotated well but if I touch the screen at the top right corner, the screen recognizes the touch at the bottom left corner.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    thanks

    Hi djtale,

    Did you use the option to rotate the display in the RPI display plugin?

    Hello,

    Yes, I used that option but it didn’t help me.
    I finally fixed it by updating that file :
    sudo nano 40-libinput.conf
    in cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

    with the following line :
    Option „TransformationMatrix“ „-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1“
