Upgraded to Stretch some time ago and after apt-updating today I see only firmware packages update and so my chromium is at 56.
That's my apt.source

Code: Select all

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi

If you are up for storing settings only, you could trace every change that you've made and store it in a script that applies these changes to a new installation that is backed up along with config files.

You need to change your user agent string using this code or an chromium extension #Note that you have to start chrome like this, it won't work if you run it while chrome is already running #!/bin/sh exec chromium-browser --app="https://play.spotify.com/" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X1...

OS crashes on launching video online e.g on youtube or facebook.
There is high chance for this to happen.
It crashes that bad sysrq keyboard shorcuts wont even work.
Yet chromium is the fastest.

I'm curious whats the reason behind using Debian and not Fedora for Pi as it makes it harder to e.g. program in web assembly or c++17 and other 'new things'.
I know that up to date neither Fedora nor Debian are suitable for Pi as they are without Foundation's modifications.

Thanks, You are really helpful, I wouldn't expect such expertise at an electronic store, really.

Now I need to find an usb tv tuner and get myself an mpeg2 licence plus an usb hub, i guess.

As far as dongles get signal from their antennae and not from the one from my rooftop connected with the faceplate they are of no use as in such rural area they won`t catch the signal.

Damn, Im so noob at this and possibly misunderstood.

Tichun

If you mean you want a wireless connection between the antenna faceplate (the picture you've shown) and a Pi you're going to need something very specialised (read expensive) and probably struggle to get enough bandwidth (depending on how many muxes you want to send). The antenna faceplate is in the...

Thanks
I'll check it all out.

Tichun

Thank you

It is DVB-T.
Wirelessly connecting it to Pi is a key factor.
If im not mistaken something like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/August-DVB-T40 ... B016DDPABQ
should do the job, yet they all seem android/ios only.

Tichun

Having such thing like on the image i'd like to use it with Pi to get live tv (signal is already there just need to connect it to Pi somehow), preferably wirelessly through an other device. http://telesatshop.com/1362-large/prise-sat-tv-fm.jpg Is it possible? If yes, what should I look for? Sorry fo...

Tichun

Thank you all, it works now.

How do I then send something using kodi on android to kodi on raspbian?
I enabled uPnP/Client in both of them, and context menu shows 'play with' on audio files but there is only default player and video player option (kodi is visible using kore or yatse) and video files don't even have such option.

Tichun

Thanks, alas this feature is paid in this app.

How can one stream a video over WIFI from Android phone to a Pi with a monitor connected to it, like smart TVs handle it?
I've found an app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... screencast) but it struggles to handle anything.

Tichun

how to flash an os for pi on sd card using android?
i think that linux's way could work but it is unconvenient (setup+risk)

Tichun

For me, removing wpasupplicant helped.
Then you have to set your connection through /etc/network/interfaces

Code: Select all

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-power off
wireless-essid example

What is behind the decision to go for 4.9 instead of 4.10? Isn't 4.10 the default for Debian 9.0, and doesn't it bring upgrades to RPi?

Isn't it useless? If you have computer that runs android studio, it certainly can use its built-in emulator with more power than pi which struggles with bare androidthings doing nothing. Can you come up with anything that this actually does that e.g. Raspbian cannot? (plus raspbian is way more light...

Tichun

This device was made for creators as you can read from statements of the Raspberry Pi Foundation but what does it actually mean? I can see all those news articles about people using Pis as weather stations, video players, pirate retro consoles and the likes but I find it rather too small and boring ...

Hi. I cannot find a sane way to start programming. Where and how do I learn to make simple, gameboy era (2D, 2-bit depth) game in C(99) with understanding of how it's done? From what I have read OpenGL ES 1/2 and SDL seem like the only ones I can choose from (although there is a game 'alex4' in repo...

Alas this script loads video in best quality even though omxplayergui is set to -f 18 but rpi-youtube in chromium respects that setting.
Other settings work the same way in both browsers so this is a little bit weird (e.g. nogui, min lines, volume)

Tichun

It is said that you can change anything in open source software, but when it comes down to it, there are few people capable of doing so.
How do I turn off all the animations in PIXEL (e.g. when max/minimising windows; they are both ugly and heavy)?

Tichun

Problem solved.
Things probalby fixed it I did:
- add "wireless-power off" to /etc/network/interfaces (and wireless-essid xyz)
- removed wpasupplicant (open network)
It still is not perfect but 99% of time it works well.

I do not count cache and buffers which give additional ~50mib.
Using linux console (tty) it really takes that little which made me wonder, if I would be able to make it lighter on the SD card or CPU with that spare RAM.
There is 256mib associated to gpu
