Post by Vitold »

Hepl me please. How can i view a video stream from mjpg-streamer on my 2.8" TFT LCD?

vlc http://localhost:8080/?action=stream can not be lauched under super user.

mplayer -vo fbdev2:/dev/fb1 -x 240 -y 320 -cache 8192 -framedrop http://localhost:8080/?action=stream reports "Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue]"

omxplayer is optimized for HDMI if i recall correctly, so you can use 'fbcp'
please note that the Pi is pretty underpowered, and without the HDMI optimizations it probably isn't going to give you smooth video feedback, the Pi has to manually 'redraw' each screen, it takes a lot out of the Pi!

whether there are other programs that will use pitft as the main display? or is it possible to disable hdmi and use pitft as the only video device?
