HyperPixel 2.1 inch Round Display and Pi Video Looper Issue #171

Closed dannpye closed 9 months ago

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.
