Never mind. The actual problem was QuickTime video player

I think this is a new issue as I was able to make longer videos previously. I tried a few files & a reinstall. They all cut off at 1.5 hours of conversion. I'll try the same files on my PC tomorrow.

I'm trying to load some 5+ hour videos onto my TTV.

Hey Ben. I tried sending you both an email and a PM. Your spam blocker blocked both and doesn't like URL's. If you have some less restrictive communication form I can share some videos with you.

Do you have a email address I could send a file? I started with a recording of MTV from the 90's that was 3 hours and 40 minutes long, I edited it in several increments (of about 30 minutes ) and found that as long as the video was less than 2 hours the random start time worked. Past that it always started at the beginning.

New Product Ideas / Tiny "Retro Cable Box" for CRT televisions.
« on: January 10, 2024, 07:12:25 PM »
I have set up a few 13 inch CRT  televisions as novelty or decor items for my friends. I outfit them with an analog TV converter box with a USB media player. They play old video footage on USB.

The Tiny TV style player would be so much better for these things. Loading up a bank of retro "cable" channels, Startup and go with no menu diving (the menus the analog converters have are difficult to view on small CRT's anyway) and having the channel flipping action like the Tiny TV has would be awesome & nostalgic. My old analog converters work like a media player rather than a retro cable box.

Mine came with a generic 8gb card. I corrupted mine and replaced it with a 64gb Sandisk.

I downloaded long MTV recordings from the internet archive VHS vault and edited them down multiple times. I think this thing will play very long videos, but the random start time channel flipping feature (it makes sense when you use it) only seems to work up to 2 hours long. Longer than that and my videos always start at the beginning.

I'm running the latest firmware. You update the device on this site under update via your browser.

A friend of mine who knows me very well got me this as a gift for Christmas. I love it. It combines my interest in retro stuff, gadgets, hacking, and novelty. 10/10

- I love the static and random start time elements. These really make the device.

I did manage to completely corrupt the original 8gb SD card. I could't get it to work at all. It just glitched out once when I started it up and wouldn't work from that point. I even removed it from the Tiny TV and it won't even register to Format when plugged into anything. I tried both my MacBook and a PC laptop. 

It's OK because I upgraded it to a SanDisk 64gb.

I have upgraded to the latest firmware (as of 1/8/24)

I did a lot of experimenting and I think that videos that are longer than 2 hours only start at the beginning. Hopefully this gets fixed because I really want to create a long music video channel that basically random plays.
