TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Random bug where screen divides into thirds
« Last post by sideburn on February 04, 2025, 10:54:11 PM »
I've run across this bug twice now after flipping through channels and cycling power on/off. The screen splits into thirds.

See video here: http://sideburn.com/vid/tinytvbug.mov

Anyone else have this happen? I have 8 videos most are around 30 mins of video and two are large with 2 hours of video. Wonder if thats related.

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV2 Remote Power On

Yeah this is normal... the settings.txt file has a powerOffSecs parameter that is defaulted to 300 seconds.

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / File Sizes for TV 2
« Last post by adventureguide6 on February 01, 2025, 10:33:01 AM »
When I convert a file, the app states it will be roughly ***MB big after the conversion, yet it is a massive file.  Am I missing something here?

Example: I am taking a 80MB mkv file and converting it using the TV2 default settings and it will output a 255mb avi file.

New Product Ideas / More Realistic Thumby Idea
« Last post by anonymous on January 30, 2025, 07:46:28 PM »
I think it would make a lot of people exited, happy and surprised if there was a thumby advance. Some of the new features could be, instead of Internal games, it could be game cartridges (nanosd cards or custom made storage devices), actual start and select buttons at the bottom, and heck, maybe even add a color screen too. I know What your thinking; But nobody wants to Pay for new cartridges every week or so! and I have a solution. When the recipient buys a Thumby Advance, they also receive a bag with a bunch of blank cartridges and an adapter for a computer. They would Go to the Thumby Code Editor, select the Thumby Advance as their version, and then upload the games (or their own games) onto the cartridges. the cartridges would come with stickers that you can write on so you can remember which one is which.

Thumby / Game not being added to arcade
« Last post by TheScienceGuy on January 29, 2025, 09:53:19 AM »
Hello!

I submitted my game on the Thumby Github page a year ago and nothing happened, and I got busy and eventually forgot about it. I tried again last week and still nothing is popping up. I followed the directions on the page, but I have not received any message or notification. I also checked the arcade and still do not see my game. I am not sure if I did something wrong in the submissions process or not. The game is called Crawler.

Thanks!

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / TinyTV2 Remote Power On
« Last post by sonnaps on January 22, 2025, 05:46:43 PM »
I have noticed that if the TinyTV2 has been off for a while, the TinyTV2 will not turn on with the remote.  I have to push the button on the top of the TinyTV2 to power it on.  Afterwards, the remote can be used to turn it off and even back on again.  It seems that if the TinyTV2 sits for some time the remote will not work for powering on.

Thumby / Re: importing micropython librarys

Try using mpremote for installation. You can install it via pip. The command to install hid using it is:
Code: [Select]
mpremote connect /dev/ttyXXX mip install usb-device-hidUnfortunately, the MicroPython 1.19 version doesn’t support machine.USBDevice. I’m also looking for a solution right now.

Hey everyone, I'm not very good at this kind of code, and I can't get a sketch to work on the watch. Please help. Drivers, patches, and device recognition have been pretty easy for me to deal with, but the integrated development environment (IDE) has been giving me a lot of trouble. I've included a screenshot of the mistakes I'm getting. Is there something I should be seeing? Is there something wrong with the libraries? Everything doesn't work right since I got the new code files from GitHub. 
 
I would be grateful for any help! I only want to show myself that I can do this. Thanks!

Thumby / importing micropython librarys
« Last post by asumsaus on January 05, 2025, 07:35:25 PM »
Howdy Yall,

I am trying to import the micropython hid library (https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/micropython/usb/usb-device-hid/usb/device/hid.py)

I am running across an issue where the upload will get to 2% then pause.
I haven't had this issue uploading the dependent libraries, they will upload with no issue then the file structure will update on the thumby code editor showing the file.

I have tried formatting the thumby and trying again, to no avail. Again I have uploaded the dependent libraries with no issue. This isn't even the largest file (the largest being 35kb and the hid library only being 9kb), the thumby code editor is also showing that I have more than enough storage capacity available.


The link above leads to the hid library code. and I will attach a screenshot of the "frozen" upload progress bar.
