Isn't is nice when it is all working. The new Title of the post looks a lot more cheerful too :D Yeah, it is but it was very frustrating, the frustrating part was trying the device on all my TVs which was a pain to get at took hours doing this and that, setting changing. And, Yeah, I figure a new t...

Dude905

I'm not sure about 4k files since I only had the one but now everything seems to be working okay and I mean 720p, 1080 p BluRay . So I'm happy with that, Thanks all

Dude905

The first 5% or so should be enough. It's only to eliminate your specific videos as a probable cause, I don't expect any change, but it's worth at least checking. Regarding the funny guy, he's right. Raspberry Pi is a UK company, they're likely still asleep. okay, fair enough just frustration kicki...

Dude905

Hmm, odd. To eliminate the video as a possible suspect, can you try the big buck bunny file found here and see if the symptom persists? https://peach.blender.org/download/ Wow, by the time I download any of those files I will be sleeping lol It saying to use Torrent but I don't do Torrent or ever h...

But what's really p***ing me off there no Pi people with their support,
Your first post was at 1:22 am. It's currently 4am. I'd expect most of the Pi employees to be asleep at the moment.

You're a funny guy

Dude905

But here the thing I'm not even using 4k. I'm trying to play either an MP4 or MKV file onto my none 4k TV, just you average HD TV and it can't in full mode. But what's really pissing me off there no Pi people with their support, it's like haha sucker we got you to buy it to bad it can't do what you...

Which file type should I load or does it matter?

I have no troubles playing video files with all my various Pi models. What are you doing when you try to play a video? That just it nothing. I installed their basic install of Raspbian Buster. I place a movie file on it use VLC to play it and it would do so in full screen mode Okay, so what's the i...

Dude905

I bought this Pi4B unit because you say it can play 4K 60 output BS ... No, it can't play on my TV in full screen mode. I asked before if Android could be installed on this Pi and was told anything Andriod could do so could Raspbian, well no it can't. The whole purpose in me buying this Pi was so i...

Dude905

Dude, a cheap Android box can play a movie file and I don't even care if its 4k or not. this Pi can't play movie files PERIOD and I tried it on all my TVs... Even TVs that aren't 4k wouldn't play, that is BS. And ther no F way will I ever use that Kodi crap, how that is still around is beyond me

Dude905

I will never use that kodi crap , that is total garbage. why should I have to do anything? But I did try configuring the resolution setting still didn't do it ... The Pi people advertise it's 4k ready, yeah where? One shouldn't have to do anything but install their OS that they recommend. all I shou...

No thank you for LibreElec Operating System with Kodi, that is simply bad in my opinion.

Dude905

Does this site support this LibreELEC? what is LibreELEC, is it an OS, if so, where can I get help from it? Thanks

Dude905

Thanks... I will try LibreElec Operating System

Dude905

My original thread when I asked the question was if raspbian could be installed on a PC desktop and it was for only so whenever I have some time I could maybe learn Raspbian. My Pi4B unit I am not going to use it like a computer all I want to do with it is playing movies from a file and using the br...

Dude905

No problem with most of those. A video file is a video file and most of those will play on a Pi the same way as they will play on a Linux PC. NO! Not all "video files" are identical, they can use very different decoding format, some which are easy to decode with minimal effort, some which need dedi...

Dude905

Yeah well I thought this Pi4b thing could be used with a TV and watch movie files, which it can't or at least not in full mode view It can. It works well for me connected to either a monitor or HD TV displaying at 1080p full screen. What resolution are you trying to display at? If it is not working...

In general use, both are almost identical. Much more so than any other distributions of Linux. The look and feel of the desktop is the same. The packages available are almost the same (with a few differences due to the different hardware). The command line stuff is mostly the same. The main differe...

Dude905

This is confusing, Raspbian is an OS, yes? Is Raspberry Pi also an OS? Or better yet what is Raspberry Pi Desktop ?
