"Insert USB drive with compatible movies" not shown on rotated Screen #73

Open glepping opened 4 years ago

glepping commented 4 years ago

I have set up a Pi 4 (1GB) with parameter display_hdmi_rotate=1 which rotates the screen 90 degrees clockwise. With these settings the "Insert USB drive with compatible movies" phrase is not shown when no usb stick is plugged in.

Tried to workaround and shorten the phrase, reinstalled video looper again but nothing changes.

Any suggestions?

interesting... osd = true in ini? videos etc work? as soon as my rpi 4 is back I will test this and maybe also with a rpi 3

it is working on a Pi 3B+ (I used the same microSD with Pi 4)

playing videos is working correctly, osd=true It is just the "Insert..." and the countdown which are not appearing

I played around a bit with the pi4 and there seems to be quite a lot of change regarding the output becasue display_hdmi_rotate=1 does not always work and it depends on which video driver is used. I only managed to rotate the screen with display_hdmi_rotate=1 once and it also did not play video in this configuration but after installing raspbian again I did not manage to rotate the screen again. but there is probably a problem with the rotating and the driver and how pygame outputs to the framebuffer... but unfortunately I don't know enough about the new rpi4 display drivers to debug further
