Waveshare 4inch DPI LCD (C) Display with GPIO connection #42

Hi Julius,

I try to get the software working with a Waveshare display that connects via GPIO. I've burned the image onto SD card according to your instructions. I then altered config.txt and the overlays folder according to Waveshare's instructions.

When starting up the Pi (Zero WH) the display shows a Raspbian boot console after which it turns black, with the display's backlight still on.

Does mp4museum work with PGIO displays?

Thanks for your time, Nik

Hi Nik, if you can see the console but not the video, there might be a different framebuffer at work. have you tried running vlc directly from the console? vlc has a command line option that will display all available framebuffers, and output can be directed to these. but without having the hardware you are using, i can only make a guess. best, Julius.
