HyperPixel 2.1 inch Round Display and Pi Video Looper Issue #171
Hey there,
I am having an issue getting the HyperPixel 2.1 inch round display working with Video Looper.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B, and the screen is just mounted to the GPIO. I see the desktop boot up fine when I switch it on, but then the screen goes blank when there would normally be the "please insert a USB" splash screen.
When I disable running Video Looper I suddenly can see the splash screen as it is disabling, then it freezes. When I reboot and enable it again, it goes blank again.
I have tried changing the video_looper.ini line
extra_args = --no-osd --audio_fifo 0.01 --video_fifo 0.01 --align center --font-size 55
To include
extra_args = --no-osd --audio_fifo 0.01 --video_fifo 0.01 --align center --font-size 55 --display 4
Which would be the same number assigned for a GPIO touch screen as I understand for omxplayer.
I have seen that there is a person who has managed to get it working. If anyone has any insight, that would be amazing. Cheers.
