4k Monitor Compatibility #38

Closed G8YTZ closed 4 years ago

G8YTZ commented 4 years ago

When booting with a 4k monitor attached to either monitor port, SSH access fails and the receiver software fails to start. Carrying out a port scan port 22 is not listening. Whilst booting the resolution mode changes. RPI 4 2GB. When connected to a lower resolution monitor all is ok.

Justin - Please could you see what behaviour you get with a bare SD Card withour Ryde loaded (just Raspios Lite and the ssh file)? Can you then ssh in with the 4K monitor attached? If there is a problem with creating a user session (as you report) then Ryde will not start up. Not a Ryde problem, but a basic Raspberry Pi problem possibly. Difficult for us to test without a 4K monitor.

Hi Dave, so I did that, no issue with the OS. Actually this time a slightly different result, but I have upgraded the Ryde Player s/w since the first go last night. Basically SSH now works in both monitor scenarios, with 4k monitor and with 1k monitor, however with the 4k monitor the Ryde software does not start, just ends at the system prompt. On the 1k monitor no problem the software starts and receives just fine. On the 4k monitor the Rydeplayer software will not start, even if stopped/started via the menu.

Monitors are both 2019 models: 4k LG 27UK850 3840 x 2160 1k LG 34WK650 2560 x 1080

Justin.

I was wondering if it would work on a 4k display, and who would be the first to try it, slightly disappointed it didn't work. I don't have access to a 4k display to test it on unfortunately so I may need you to try a few things to get this fixed. Can run it manually and reply with the errors? It should just be a case of doing thins from the system prompt (Dave: correct me if there is a better way to get the errors):

cd /home/pi/ryde
python3 -m rydeplayer /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml

What the 1k display does is what its supposed to do, spew a load of debugging everywhere :) On the 4k screen can you try this:

cd /home/pi/pydispmanx
python3 demo.py

and post the output and if anything flashes on the display (it might be very quick)?

Thanks for that, defiantly a display interface problem. Can you try increasing the video memory split using sudo raspi-config? Its under Advance Options, Memory Split. The maximum value is 512 so start there and see if demo.py works.

G8YTZ commented 4 years ago

OK Tim, that's a fix. It works ok at 128k on a fairly static 720p picture from GB3JV. It has run now for some hours. I posted a video on the BATC Facebook group.

eclispe commented 4 years ago

excellent thanks, the default is 76 so it didn't need that much more.

Dave: probably no harm in doing this for everyone in the config.txt gpu_mem=128

davecrump commented 4 years ago

ryde-build release 202007200 (Commit c326612 on the BATC GitHub) cures this by adding "gpu_mem=128" to /boot/config.txt. This issue can now be closed.

G8YTZ commented 4 years ago

Thanks Dave & Tim, I've updated the system, I'll test later today. BTW I was over at Dave G8OUX's place yesterday afternoon and we also checked [ok] on a LG 4k TV set. I'll also checked k on my Sony 4k set today.

G8YTZ commented 4 years ago

I've updated the Pi and all seems to be ok with 4k now. Just one thing I noted, I had modified the config.yaml file for the frequency and symbol rate of the GB3JV repeater in the default section, the update overwrote my custom file, not an future an issue as such as it takes 30s to fix, but it would be nice if the config file was not overwritten during the update process in future releases.

davecrump commented 4 years ago

Pleased that works. As explained in the release note https://forum.batc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=6773 the config file has undergone major changes so I was unable to preserve it on this occasion.

G8YTZ commented 4 years ago

Sure, Dave its very difficult giving feedback on work that people have done as it almost seems you're criticising the authors all the time whenever a bug is found or an enhancement is asked for. Of course it's supposed only to be constructive, but I guess it's a fine balance. To be absolutely clear I really am delighted with this software and really appreciate the work you've put into this and the other platforms you've conceived, I just can't wait for the next drop!
