Re: Issues with Script

Thanks for the replies. @NotRequired, I'm not sure why the script has been fine with the shebang line after the init info all this time. I've used the init script fine for many years until yesterday when my SD got shagged and I had to do a complete rebuild of my Pi setup. I'm guessing it was always ...

Re: Issues with Script

So added ". /lib/lsb/init-functions" and moved "#! /bin/sh" to the start and it now works.

Pretty annoying that it worked fine on wheezy though.

Issues with Script

Hi All, I have a service that I've created that worked fine on wheezy but I've just updated to the lastest RPi image and it no longer works. My script is "/etc/init.d/vncboot" and looks like this: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: vncboot # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_f...

Re: restarting a program

If you want your python script to run after you close putty try putting an ' &' after the line where you run your script (i.e. 'py something.py &'). If you want the python script to run when the Pi starts see the replies above. I have some additional suggestions below: If you want a script to run be...

RPi Transmission Graphing Download and Upload

So I have been searching around for something that graphically shows downloads and uploads for Transmission BT Client only (i.e. not eth0 like everything out there seems to do!). I have found a solution so I thought I might share it with the community. Take from it what you like. For a glimpse of wh...

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 possible h.265 decoder?

I think you overstate the hit to the Pis future if the Pi4 is a 40nm part. Maybe, nobody knows for sure, only time will tell. Having used Pi's as a development platform at work and hitting the hardware limitations due to no USB3, gigabit ethernet etc basically forced us to move the the Odroid XU4, ...

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 possible h.265 decoder?

https://www.arm.com/files/event/Mali_Pa ... 0_GPUs.pdf Page 12 That's very old news, Since 2013 hardware H265 decoding has been a thing (Samsung Galaxy S4 debuted with it), maybe not in the Pi's price range but it's now four years later and counting. And Hardkernel isn't the only company with a low...

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 possible h.265 decoder?

I've used several Pi's as media centers for about three years until h265 started to become popular recently. I had to switch to Hardkernel's Odroid C2 with LibreElec 8 to deal with h265 content. Odroid C2 is a similar price to the Pi and has working hardware h265 decoding up to 4k. I've tested up to...

Re: How to set IP camera address on Rasp PI 2

I know this is an old post now (a month old) but I have a few point grey cameras (the blackfly version) and thought I'd put in my 2 cents... Firstly, this is a Gigevision device, it spits out uncompressed image data at very high speed. You typically need at least Gigabit ethernet , sometimes more (l...
