Could not play videos - iso, mp4 etc from hdd - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

hi folks,

posting think may others (posted on xbian formus well):

last week got hold of external hdd - plan being put dvds on , play them rpi2/kodi/xbian.

without going in detail, first batch of films when on hdd , played fine - dvd shrink coped majority...some had done using trail version of dvd fab.

going well, until yesterday, when file transfer hdd seemed slow down. having scanned hdd, found no problems - copy...not faster, got there in end.

today, connected hdd rpi2 - none of films had done day before ran.

after head-banging , file re-generation, resorted trying mp4 format, rather iso - still didn't work.

so, basics:
on windows 7, toshiba 1tb hdd.
run mp4 windows - runs ok
run mp4 hdd under rp12/xbian - error reading file (from log).
run mp4 hdd under windows - error reading file.
files appear same, but....

having trawled web, found 'similar' issues hdd/usb drives/sd cards etc., advising same kind of thing...e.g. corrupt file/corrupt disk - not real help.

ding! penny dropped...a few days ago when hdd connected win7, changed drive/folder optimization option general videos (seemed idea @ time).

so, have changed option 'general' , works fine.

hope helps others, spent while trying bottom of one.

dear all, working on image processing using raspberry pi, have installed intex usb web camera on raspberry pi. have used basic python script of image processing https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspb ... first.html required libraries installed on raspberry pi. script code: import imgproc imgproc import * # open webcam take pictures camera = camera(160, 120) # open viewer window display images viewer = viewer(160, 120, "the first step") # take picture camera img = camera.grabimage() # display image in viewer viewer.displayimage(img) # iterate on each pixel in image x in range(0, img.width): for y in range(0, img.height): # value @ xth column , yth row, place intensities variables red, green, blue = img[x, y] # test find colour dominant if red > green , red > blue: # red dominant, set pixel red img[x, y] = 255, 0, 0 elif green > red , green > blue: img[x, y] = 0, 255, 0 else: # if red or gr...

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
