It looks like there are some invisible files that your version of MacOS has created and these hidden files are causing problems.

My macOS is Big Sur Ver 11.6

Can confirm it was the hidden files that were creating the issues!   A hidden file name called ".Spotlight-V100" ".fseventsd" and ".Trashes" (this one would be created if i tried deleting the other two) were found on my SD card. I didn't see and "._" files though.

I used the command you gave me to show the hidden folders in the SD card file. I went into the Mac book terminal and typed "rm -r" and then dragged all the hidden files on to the terminal window to delete them. I had to do this repeatedly until all the ._ files were gone.  I couldn't pinpoint exactly what I did that caused it work.....just repeated this until it did. Spent a lot of time trying to figure it out to share it with yall, but i had to throw in the towel 

This also fixed the channel number issue too.

If this issue is still something you'd like to figure out or have more information on let me know. I'd be willing to zoom and show you what I'm seeing on my screen.

Good Evening!

For some reason when i download videos onto the SD card it causes an error on the TinyTV.

Example: I download a file called Bebop-> I turn on the TinyTV and you can see the video  -> when i switch to the very next channel its a glitched out screen.

When I turn off TinyTV mode in the settings I can see that the working channel name is called Bebop, while the glitched out channel file name is called "._Bebop" This has happened for multiple videos to include the example video files provided.

Things i've done to troubleshoot.
- reformatted the SD card
- I've tried using only example videos, only personal videos, or a mix of both
- Re-uploaded the TinyTV code using arduino

I also noticed that the channel numbers are messed up. Channel numbers are now " :, ;, <, =, ?, @, A, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9". I've only tried uploading 9 different videos.

Please help
