I have various situations where it would be very useful to be able to turn that flag on and off without rebooting. I do a lot of AV installations with Pis, and recently I frequently have a situation where I have the Pi plugged into a DVI monitor and then need to switch it to an 7.1 receiver to play ...

Based on my experience swapping out monitors, it seems like it must be re-reading the EDID when you run tvservice -p? I'm not clear how the GPU having access to the SD card is related?

paulslocum

Is there any way to programmatically turn this on or off other than rewriting the config.txt and rebooting?

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response! Is this the correct data format at this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV#Y%E2%80%B2UV420p_(and_Y%E2%80%B2V12_or_YV12)_to_RGB888_conversion Pasted from the article: size.total = size.width * size.height; y = yuv[position.y * size.width + position.x]; u ...

I was able to successfully tunnel a "video_splitter" component into Omxplayer's components between the video scheduler and renderer, and I set up a "FillBufferDone" callback on an unused video_splitter output port, but I don't understand the data I'm getting back. The size of the buffer corresponds ...

Over the last day I've continually received re-sent emails for MPEG2 codecs I purchased a long time ago. Seems like the codec purchasing system has some issues.

Oh yeah, you're right, I didn't even catch that in the example code I started with. Yet the destination rect is not. Ultimately I gave up on using Dispmanx directly partly just because it doesn't have much documentation, and the capabilities are pretty limited. I ended up using OpenVG to draw into a...

I'm a bit confused about where you're getting that the rectangle is a fixed point fractional integer. That does not seem to be the case from my use of the Dispmanx functions. VC_RECT_T is defined as: /* We have so many rectangle types; let's try to introduce a common one. */ typedef struct tag_VC_RE...

I was originally going to set up a cross-compiling environment, but I found it unnecessary and just build my projects with Make on the Raspberry Pi. It builds about as fast as XCode. I edit files directly on the RPi using a PC text editor that supports SFTP and projects, so it feels almost like an I...

I have a bluetooth project working, and I did it all from the Bluez source code. I also had to update Bluez. The version that comes with Jessie was too buggy to be usable for my purposes.

Generally C is a bit messy, but it's easy to wrap the messiness with whatever level of convenience functions you like. You could also try some of these answers:

I ended up reverting back to Jessie, but I'll try again and report back when I make another attempt at switching to Stretch.

I'm trying to move a sprite from a PNG around the screen with 2X supersampling. I need to be able to position a spite half-way between pixels for smoother movement. It's pretty easy to achieve supersampling just by scaling down the destination rectangle of a Dispmanx double buffer, but then it's unc...

On Raspbian Stetch I'm unable to run my Raspbian Jessie C++ programs using the Dispmanx PNG example because there's only libpng12-dev available but libpng16 installed, and they do not seem to work together. When I try to run a program built with libpng12-dev on libpng16 it gives a warning and then c...

I hope so, but I find quite a few reports of the issue on the forums, and I didn't have to test many devices to find one that didn't work, so I think the issue may be more a bit more prevalent than that.

Best I can tell, tvservice does the same thing. What I'm wondering is if there's any difference between the two technically, like does hdmi_force_hotplug set some bits on the HDMI port to improve compatibility, or is it only forcing the HDMI on (the same as turning on an explicit HDMI mode with tvse...

paulslocum

Does hdmi_force_hotplug=1 do anything unique, or is it the effectively same as automatically turning on an HDMI mode using tvservice in rc.local?

I did get frame-locked synchronized video playback working on HDMI and confirmed it with a high speed camera. The firmware currently does not allow adjustments to the composite video clock, but it might be possible -- discussion continued here:

This is what I use, 20AWg power lines for $3 each at most (but you have to buy at least 3).

To me as a application developer, "power management" is primarily just about doing things like caching the results of CPU-intensive tasks. But on the Pi there are explicit ways to manage power, like putting the HDMI monitor to sleep or turning off wifi when not in use. Plenty of ways to incorporate ...

Thanks for asking about it, I figured the problems were largely related to MPEGLA. I think part of our issue is that we're doing a product in the hundreds instead of thousands. If we were doing something in the thousands, then we could probably more easily absorb the additional setup cost and time r...

Please email info@raspberrypi.org for bulk purchases of licence keys. I was specifically referring to the bulk purchase process in my comment. It's adds too much complication to be worth it for us. We just decided to do without MPEG2 support (maybe we'll add software MPEG2 decoding later) You have ...

I've developed professionally for years on both mobile and embedded platforms, and from a general software development perspective, dealing with "power management" is pretty much identical. The biggest difference is that on the Pi you're more worried about overheating and on the phone your'e more wo...

Also, I just wanted to say that despite the issues with power supplies and cables, I love the micro USB power connector and wouldn't trade it for anything else. The ability to buy separate power supplies and cables in a variety of lengths, colors, and styles is incredible for our applications. It's ...

paulslocum

Use a power supply that is up to the job. I think a big part of the problem is that the majority of micro USB cables can't deliver enough power even if you have a properly rated power supply. We're about to release a Pi product and I bought quite a lot of different USB cables before I finally found...
