Bluetooth Crashes and Can't Recover

I got a pair of Bluetooth headphones and I tried to use them with my Pi. They connect fine and audio plays through them just fine... for a short amount of time. After a few minutes of issue-less use, the task bar panel on the Pi (in Raspbian) will disappear for a few seconds, then it will come back,...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

Have you looked in the service menu (if you haven't already) ? ...service menu? Sorry, you need to be more specific, I don't know what that is. The only menu I know on my TV is the one I can access pressing the menu button, which I already talked about. Also pop you config.txt or tvservice setting ...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

That TV has a comb filter in its NTSC decoder. If there is a menu option to turn it off, give it a try. (A comb filter could give the colour fringeing effects if the horizontal frequency of the video signal is not quite bang on the NTSC spec.) And ensure the Digital Noise Reduction is also turned o...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

Why do you mention 240p? Surely you need 480i for NTSC, typically 640 x 480 interlaced. Because it's better for older games. NES for example only outputs 240p, so trying to force it to be 480i just worsens the images as it has to stretch it out and it ends up being flickery, while 240p is not flick...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

Here's what I mean by the picture seems distorted or bent almost. As you can see, that is the top of my CLI window. It should be straight, but on the right-hand side of the screen, it's about 1 pixel from the top of the screen, but on the left-hand side, it's like 5 pixels from the top of the scree...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

Here is what I mean by "rainbowing". That should just be white but instead it has multiple colors coming out of it. (Ignore the colors in the background, you only see those because my camera is zoomed in so close. I'm talking about the colored pixels floating around the white cursor, mainly on the t...

Re: Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

This sounds like you have connected the pins wrong. Perhaps you have mixed ground with audio due to wrong cable pinout? No clue, after my first cable didn't work I just looked up cables people specifically said worked well for the Pi and bought one of those. Of course, it didn't work well at all. I...

Really bad composite video out on Pi 3?

I have a CRT and I wanted to hook my Pi 3 up to it, but the composite video out quality is horrendous. I configured it to be the same resolution/aspect ratio as my CRT but the image doesn't fit the screen and is stretched taller than it and curved at the top so it's not even exactly straight, there'...
