TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Mac TinyTV Converter Issues
« Last post by Charpie on December 26, 2024, 06:33:44 PM »I've gotten the Tiny TV 2 as a gift for family members. I'm using the Mac app to convert videos and gift the TV fully loaded with family videos.
While the Mac app seems to convert videos, they are not compatible with the Tiny TV 2. I can't get any of them to work. The conversion finishes successfully, and I can view and play the .AVI files on my Mac, but the TV itself won't read them.
I've made sure the filenames are compatible and the correct TV is selected in the Mac app (I've also tried them all to no avail).
When inspecting the video files, the ones that ship with Tiny TV are AVIs using the Motion JPEG codec. The files converted with TinyTV Converter, however, are AVIs using the MPEG4 codec (at a much lower bit rate).
I'm using TinyTV Converter version 1.0.5 on macOS 15.2.
Anyone else have a similar issue and figure this out?

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV 2 - always random start in video: randStartTime config always forced true
« Last post by sonnaps on December 26, 2024, 11:39:03 AM »The title pretty much says it all: trying out my new TinyTV 2. It's wonderful, as long as you like it to start each video at a random point when you change channels. There is a setting for this, but not only does the setting not do anything, the device changes the settings file to its preferred setting of "true" every time.
If I set the randStartTime option in the settings.txt to false, it resets itself to true and I always get the random start behaviour. The first time I look at the settings.txt file after turning it on to view, the file has changed back to its original randStartTime=true. I edit the settings.txt on the device directly, it resets itself. I edit it on my PC and copy the settings file to the device, it resets itself. I try a power cycle between, no difference. I try ejecting, power cycle, re-insertion, still reset. The device itself seems to be opening the settings.txt file and writing randStartTime=true to its own configuration file, before starting to play, so I always get random start times.
What am I missing? The specific little videos I'm using need to be seen from the start.
Ditto on this, I am having the same exact problem.

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / TinyTV2 Auto Power On
« Last post by Plastic1252 on December 15, 2024, 12:16:16 PM »Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to have the TinyTV2 automatically turn on when connected to power? I want to incorporate this into a pinball and when the machine turns on I want the TinTV to turn on as well. Thanks.

New Product Ideas / Re: Rotary Encoder & Potentiometer
« Last post by emma101 on December 12, 2024, 03:27:17 AM »I just thought I'd add my idea for Rotary Encoders and Potentiometer shields.The suggestion to create a clip-on design for those who prefer not to solder is excellent. It makes the technology more accessible to a wider range of users.
Hopefully you will like the idea Ken, I'll get one for free.
Cookie Clicker
As you mentioned, it may only be feasible to make one with only encodeing chips. I can see that and that would be fine for me.
For those who wish to do no soldering, it might be good to be able to just clip in on top.
My first idea is a handgrip, with encoder as a remote follow focus control .. probably wireless.
This is for when I have to mount a camera on a crane or jib arm, or up on a pole.

New Product Ideas / Re: Tiniest possible arduino
« Last post by jessica101 on December 12, 2024, 02:36:55 AM »Recently I've discovered this design for a 0.4" x 0.4" arduino compatible board:Using a small battery cell is a great idea, but make sure to consider power management to maximize battery life, especially with neopixels, which can draw significant current.
https://hackaday.io/project/3117-a-even-smaller-nanite-temple run 2 online
My proposal:
- a similarily sized Tinyduino, possibly powered by a small battery cell
- a neopixel addon board which can be soldered to the bottom side of the board (using spacers)
