Can someone from the Pi store help look into this.

I wish to display in kiosk mode a web browser. I basically know how to do that. The problem is if I want to overlay a small rectangular window at the bottom with some message, how would I do that ? <the kiosk mode occupies the full screen, I use chromium browser.> I display the window using the tkin...

I have a rpi3 with jessie. I have chromium-browser installed. Everything was working fine and then suddenly in the last two days a strange behaviour started happening if I play any *.mp4 file (i.e. I provide a link to the file). The video window starts off right then it keeps shrinking (as if in a s...

sorry I mis-stated...I did not do the rpi-update/rpi-upgrade. I did only the sudo apt-get update/upgrade

that is all good. It is set correctly and it plays audio from other programs like omxplayer and chromium-browser only not with firefox.

Maybe you'd check your clock speed? Did you check softwares running using "top" command? The top command shows my python script running with >100% of CPU. But I have had this pi and been running the same thing for months and never had this issue. (I have not run the top before this so I dont know i...

I have been using pi 3 with jessie and have had no issues. But last couple of days the over-temperature icon keeps popping up (halfway up red ) which i read in another post here as that the arm is limited. over_temperature_80_85.png Is there any remedy for this ? I am somewhat surprised since I have...

I have pi 3 with jessie. I installed firefox from a deb package. My firefox version is: firefox:armhf 49.0+build4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 I tried update/upgrade everything else but problem persists. The problem is both on youtube site videos as well as mp4 files played from a link directly. The video is f...

I have a raspberry pi 3. The wireless connection works perfectly fine, with connection being established at boot. However, I am trying to develop some script that can take the wifi down and up without a reboot. The purpose of script is to scan for wireless networks, ask for password from user, put i...

Hello AdlerSam, I have a request. I have been reading quite a bit about connecting wireless to without going through the home router. I don't want to run a dhcp server (i.e. I am trying to do your solution).Tried several approaches before I saw this post. Would you be able to share the end to end wh...

skidoobond, thanks for the detailed steps. It takes about 45 seconds before mysplash.png shows up on the screen. when I reboot, -blinking cursor comes for a second or two -next the rainbow (or 4 colorpixels on the screen (usual splash)) appears for a snap -that disappears & blinking cursor for the n...

I appreciate your responses. The thing is that I am trying to recall the steps I did a few months ago to get me to automatically boot to the openbox-session. I did not quite write it down. my system does end up booting to the gray screen of the openbox and life is good. It is just that I need to be ...

I am trying to trace back and figure what I had done to get my rpi to boot into openbox session !! my situation is: when I boot, at some point after it completes it launches the openbox (I see a gray screen where I right click & open emulator window and go about using the pi). I cannot recall what I...

I tried the sequence of commands you have given and it works. !! just out of curiosity, I tried giving only fbset 32 and it did not work. I had to do both fbset -16 as well like you have laid out. they are the same command fbset with different arguments so I was curious why just doing one would not ...

thanks for the responses. Here is what my situation is. <I may not be explaining technical terms well as a noobie but hopefully I can get my situation across> I will explain my starting: I have set it up such that on boot it does not go to any "desktop" but invokes xterm (I did this a while ago and ...

I was using the tvservice -p command.
(i was doing this when testing some suggestions for cleaning screen after omxplayer playing some videos)

how do I get back my usual screen (like the terminal windows etc.) ?
(I rebooted, but wanted to know how to avoid this)
Thanks

First off, thanks for building this browser. my situation: this is with 1.4 version. I launched a page with html5 video tags as below. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay> <source src="http://www.wowza.com/_h264/BigBuckBunny_115k.mov" type="video/mp4"> <so...

I have tried the 1.3 and it was working fine on one sd card. but after a few days on a second sd card , I get the message (when I visit a site with html5 video tag), that the browser does not support the video tag. The same site works fine with sd card one ! I had pulled zip file and installed it on...

You could easily write a simple image viewer using SDL and SDL_image . I found from googling feh that it is an X11 image viewer. Are you going to be using X on your HDMI display? It may be simpler to just display the images on the framebuffer. Either way SDL would be a good way to start. I wrote a ...

I have tried several files with hello_jpeg.bin, including a sample that was 320X240 In each case I get "did not receive executing stat -1" error.

Of course, I get this to work just after my post... I guess I had to put in a bit rate.

If you have followed my tutorial step by step, omxil_vout is used as default video output, so there's no need to set the --vout option (but it doesn't harm either). Run VLC from the desktop, open the message window, open the stream from the menue, let it run for a moment and stop it with the "s" ke...
