TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV2 encoding parameter...

I'm using HandBrake to convert my videos from MKV to MP4 first, with a resolution of 216 × 134 pixels, a variable bitrate, constant quality set to RF 20, and the audio track set to AAC Mono at 128 kbps. After that, I convert the file with FFmpeg using the following terminal command on macOS:

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
  -c:v mjpeg -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 24 -s 210x135 \
  -c:a pcm_u8 -ar 10000 -ac 1 \
  output.avi
What works even better for me is adding the quality parameter (-q:v) and setting it to 1, which noticeably increases overall sharpness. For most videos, setting it to 2 should be fine as well. Also there is a volume parameter (-af "volume=[val]dB")  which might come in handy:

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
-c:v mjpeg -q:v 1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 24 -s 210x135 \
-c:a pcm_u8 -ar 20000 -ac 1 -af "volume=2dB" \
output.avi
Interestingly, setting the audio sample rate to 20 kHz works just as well as 10 kHz, and my TinyTV 2 still plays it without any issues. I thought higher sample rates weren't supported, but it seems like they are!

I would like to know this as well. I have the TV embedded in an enclosure so access to the power button is not easy. Is there a way to make the remote always power on/off the unit?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyZero Won’t Power Up on Bat...

Last post by isleviolence - November 26, 2025, 02:32:09 AM

I'm using a 3.7V Li-ion/Li-Po battery with a TinyZero, IMU, and Bluetooth module. Everything runs perfectly when the board is connected to my computer, even if the battery is plugged in. But as soon as I unplug the USB cable, the system won't power on at all.

I've tried multiple fully charged batteries and ordered a few new ones just to be sure, but nothing changes.

Does anyone know what the actual power requirements might be or what could cause the TinyZero not to run from battery power alone? This setup should operate directly from a battery, right?

New Product Ideas / Voice activated screen

Last post by Hfcxws2356dc - November 24, 2025, 12:31:12 PM

I'd like a way to have a tiny screen play a video, but only while someone speaks near it (or any other sound), and have the whole outfit battery operated.

Having trouble finding the right battery too? I ordered some online that claimed to be compatible, but the connector was totally wrong! I ended up going to a local electronics repair shop and they hooked me up  with the perfect one. Might be worth a try! sex dolls usa

But local electronics repair shops are becoming increasingly scarce these days—at least around here.

Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Pocket Arcade with Acceleromet...

Last post by ironman125 - November 19, 2025, 11:08:33 PM

I am trying to use the pocket arcade with the accelerometer wireling to make a game that uses the accelerometer as an input.  Depending on the order that I initialize the display and the accelerometer I can either get the display to work with constant -1 accelerometer error readings or I can read the accelerometer effectively without the ability to show anything on the display.  Does anyone know how both of these can be used at once without having one overwrite the other?  Thanks

Wirelings / Microphone Wireling

Last post by zhunerer - November 13, 2025, 05:43:34 AM

Hi all, I've got a Microphone wireling, wireling adaptor, and a TinyZero. I've been trying to get the microphone to work and followed the documentation code but the reading seems to change randomly, and it doesn't increase or decrease based on sound. Please help!

Thumby / Issue with screen

Last post by kennethjohn - November 06, 2025, 04:51:12 AM

Hello,
When I unboxed mine, I was able to play it for an hour before plugging it in for the night. Now, whenever I flip the power switch, it won't turn on. I've tried several different cables, but nothing works. Would a software update help, or do I just have a dead unit?
