LEGO Pi: A giant 1x1 that plays games.

I tried connecting it to the living room TV and no signal.

THE BUG IN QUESTION: (sorry for bad quality)

edmaul69

@allanbuzzy yeah i dont know how to fix the bug butt lowering the resolution of your actual video makes it work.

Allanbuzzy

@edmaul69 So maybe 480p?

edmaul69

@allanbuzzy yeah. I think might have 720 worked for me but i could be wrong.

Allanbuzzy

@edmaul69 I did lower the resolution to about 360p, it's lost it's HD goodness but the issue is that the only time it cut was when the LEGO logo formed. I guess it's slowly fixing itself, I don't know

I do want to make a theme for my project, as I feel as if it deserves it. I like the Metro theme that @Omnija made, but I do not want to copy him or his work.

The one problem I have is that I am on a Mac, and I don't think there are any programs that help me create a theme.

Cool Lego Project!

About your splashscreen video problem. Try this:

Go to /etc/init.d/asplashscreen

Within that file, scroll down to where it says omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10000 "$line". Change that to omxplayer -o both --layer 10000 "$line". (You're removing the -b from the code)

That worked for my problem.

Allanbuzzy

@wombat Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try this and see if it'll work for my TV.

EDIT: IT WORKS! Thank you Wombat, that has made my day! Not one single cutoff!

@allanbuzzy

Yea! Glad it worked for you! :)

Does anyone have a music script I could use? I found some good music I could use for my project.

This is pretty funny and weird at the same time, but basically on the RetroPie-Extra splash screens, something that I noticed was that someone already created a LEGO Pi splashscreen.

This is completely unrelated, but I noticed it very easily.
