RPI PLAY - Incompatible with Ubuntu 20.04 and especially Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye

[TacticianTilted]

I don't have a black screen How can I connect to rpiplay

Maybe any dependencies are not satisfied, because you are using Ubuntu, and I compiled RPiPlay and make the script for Raspberry Pi OS Buster 32 bits (the only OS PiKISS is supported).

So I don't think this could be working on Ubuntu. You can check the script and try to compile by yourself on it.

Good luck!

Also doesn't work on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye You should add support for Bullseye as if not for Pi OS Legacy the app would become obsolete as people move away from Buster. The Pi Kiss Readme claims to have good compatibility with Bullseye and yet this app doesn't work at all with Bullseye.

~/piKiss/scripts/others/rpiplay.sh is the path

~/piKiss/scripts/others/rpiplay.sh is the path

Thats litterry the script that is ran when selecting rpiplay in Pi Kiss

[jmcerrejon]

Yeah. You can read and see how to compile on Ubuntu or whatever you want. Maybe I'll try to compile today, If you can wait for the Bullseye version.

I couldn't figure out how to get the renderer to work as default one which is the dummy one doesn't work as it doesn't display a black screen - this is in Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye

running ./rpiplay in the ~RpiPlay/build will result in the script running as intended except it doesn't render anything No Black Screen. I can connect to the RPIPlay but nothing changes

[jmcerrejon]

OK. It's not as easy as I thought. RPi OS Bullseye removes the OpenMAX renderer and now I need to use gstreamer. Could you test the next binary I compiled?:

Install the next two new dependencies: sudo apt install -y libgstreamer1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0

Download, uncompress and run the next on your RPi OS 32 bits Bulsseye: https://misapuntesde.com/rpi_share/rpiplay-testing.tar.tz

Keep me informed.

can't seem to get the file to run

can't seem to get the file to run

Uncompress the file, run a Terminal and show me the output when you run ./rpiplay inside the directory where you have the file (probably ~/Downloads).

Sorry, I didn't know you don't have the knowledge to uncompress a file. I'll try to test in a clean OS and tell you in a couple of days. Thanks for your help anyway.

[jmcerrejon]

Tested the file I sent here on a new installation of RPi OS 32 bits Bullseye and...it's working!. Installing the deps I said. I'll try to upload the changes today/tomorrow.
