Can't get composite out for FullPage OS 0.13.0 #544

What were you doing?

I'm using a pi 4b and I can't seem to get FullPage OS to output through the 3.5mm composite jack. I'm trying to run it to an old CRT TV with composite input. I'm using a breakout cable to RCA to plug in video and audio on the TV.

What did you expect to happen?

I edited the config.txt of the boot file in the SD card to include lines like:

hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 enable_tvout=1 sdtv_mode=2 sdtv_aspect=1

I hoped this would bypass the HDMI output and go through the 3.5mm jack instead. I get some shaking/signal through my CRT on startup but then it quickly stops. I can plug in the HDMI cable and then the HDMI monitor screen loads with my webpage from the OS.

Any help is appreciated! I am very new and trying to learn.

Version of FullPageOS?

I am using the latest official release, FullPageOS 0.13.0

[Can be found in /etc/fullpageos_version ALWAYS INCLUDE.]

Does it work for you using plain Rpi OS?
