Title: Converting videos
Post by: Shouthat on November 29, 2023, 11:54:44 PM
I know there is the TSVConverter program for converting videos (great tool by the way) but I saw somewhere that the TinyTV also will play MP4 video.

Are only certain formats supported? Such as, what audio and video codecs will it play? While TSVConverter is great for ease of use, I would like to use something like HandBrake to re-encode and resize my video files in bulk.

We did make a new version of firmware for the DIY kit that can play .AVI files with jpeg data (not MP4). You can update your TV here https://tinytv.us/Update/. After updating you can't go back easily as of now. The new firmware allows for both AVI and TSV playback.

It should be possible to use other programs to convert your videos but we made a new program for making .AVIs: https://tinytv.us/TinyTV-Converter-App/
