That is the reason why I do not use Kodi or Retropie. If Kodi or Retropie controls the operating system boot options, then your computer will cause more trouble then what you actually were anticipating. You install custom desktop themes on the Raspberry Pi OS, then you uninstalled the themes. You n...

All sorted! I bought one of these RF modulators from eBay ... 2B953B15-0CC7-42B8-A540-D1B6979D5B4F.jpeg I’ve changed a few things in the config.txt to get PAL output to composite and to size the screen (it still needs a few tweaks). Here it is with the Pi 3b (BBC test card ‘f’ as the desktop backgro...

How about installing Retropie on top of Raspberry Pi OS? It is - sorry, I probably wasn’t very clear. I’ve installed RetroPie over the top of Raspbian - at some point I must have set it to boot straight to RetroPie but if I try and set it back to boot direct to Raspbian desktop it gives me a prompt...

Hi, I’ve got a 3b that has RetroPie and Raspbian on it and I’m trying to figure out how to get it to boot straight to desktop without a prompt for startx. When it boots I get the RetroPie splash screen followed by a desktop - it then goes from the desktop to a black screen with a terminal prompt whe...

You need some UHF modulator i.e. like this one : composite and audio in, UHF out IMG_20200711_082354.jpg IMG_20200711_082402.jpg I'm pretty sure I have the users manual still around but could not find it yet .. (as it also allowed for changing the channel) Typing ‘UHF Modulator’ into Amazon has thr...

It's usually very simple to add a composite input to these old CRT TVs, True but not a good thing to do, as you said... Zappy Zappy sad :( Even if you don't get a shock, the chassis not being isolated from mains will result in potential destruction of anything connected, and a shock risk to anyone ...

One of the original "PAL patent avoiding" Sonys. The Hue control is the clue for that. Model no. something like KV-1320UB. I still have an even earlier 1300UB model. Black case without the speaker grille panel left of the 1320 screen. Speaker on right below the tuning knob and controls. Both models...

It’s a UK TV - we’re running a vintage games console on it at the moment.

Hi, My wife and I have just bought a 60's/70's Sony Trinitron CRT TV that's in perfect working order. My plan is to somehow use an RPi to display YouTube, iPlayer etc and to screen share Apple Movies from an iPad - and, of course, play games on Retropie. There are quite a few projects around the int...

Ok, so I've checked the PSU for the Pi - It's not a charger its a 5v 2500mA PSU (I think it's from Pi Hut). I've now plugged in a powered USB hub (the black seven port one from Pi Hut) - there's nothing else plugged into it or the other USB's on the Pi (there never was anyone else plugged in). I've ...

Dazzathedrummer

Be sure that on the hub that you are connecting the drive to, the other socket is empty. If it is this way and undervoltage warnings still occur, you need an active usb hub to power the drive properly. That makes sense - but the external drive is plugged straight into the Rpi. I double check that t...

Weird - everything seems to be working now!! ...all the files are back. Just incase there's an underlying problem - this is what I'm getting from those suggestions... mount|grep /mnt gives me this... pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mount|grep /mnt /dev/sda1 on /mnt/DazDrive2 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,rel...

Hi, I have a 2TB WD Passport drive plugged into my 3B that I mainly use for ripping my CD collection to. I used OMV for a few years but found it un-reliable when running Plex so now I simply use the Pi as a headless desktop with the external drive as a network share - it's been working fine for a wh...

Dazzathedrummer

I've just read that Icecast can do it - I'm going to check that route out.

The Raspberry Pi SBC does not have any Audio Inputs !!

Yes, sorry, I mean...assuming I give it an audio input with a hifiberry for example.

Dazzathedrummer

Hi, My home hifi equipment is centered around Apple TV. I've got Plex running on a Pi3 and I use the Apple TV Plex app to stream my personal music collection. I have quite a few vinyl albums and my turntable is situated across the room from my amplifier - so I have to either move the turntable or pl...

Have you looked at the example documentation for Smashing on How to: send mysql data to your widgets ? https://github.com/Smashing/smashing/wiki I haven’t - thanks! We’re using MS SQL Server as opposed to MySQL, but I guess it’s a step in the right direction. If it doesn’t natively do MS SQL, I gue...

Hi, I’m looking for a good data dashboard to display financial and non-financial KPIs where I work. I’ve been developing a set of stats using MS Power BI for work but it’s clunky and the commercial licensing is expensive (even for a business). I like the idea of attaching a Pi to the back of a scree...

Forget NOOBS and install an OS image.

Of course!!

I'm not sure why I didn't do that!!

Thanks!

Hi, I've not come across this before (and I've had to re-install a few times over the years) but when I try to boot up a Pi zero for the first time with an 8gb card, it's telling me that it doesn't have enough space for Raspbian. I copied the Noobs download onto the card, this took up just over 2.5g...

Hi, I'm having some problems with access rights to an external usb drive i've got hooked up to an Rpi3. I'm using it to rip CDs to via an old MacBook. It seems to rip ok (albeit extremely slowly), but if I try and move or change anything it says that I don't have permission. This happens on the Pi d...

Dazzathedrummer

...I seem to have fixed it....I’m not sure how

Seems fine now.

Now I can use my old MacBook Pro to rip cds at hires onto the pi’s external drive and listen to them on any device using Plex.

Happy

Hi, So the next problem in my quest to create a NAS drive that also runs Plex is that I can’t get Samba to work. I’ve got a 2tb external usb drive plugged into my Pi3, it shows up on the desktop and I can browse its contents through /media/pi/. If I do df -aTh I can see that it’s ext4. I’ve set up S...
