Extension requests / Re: OMXPlayer for piCore32.

« Last post by meo on August 10, 2026, 06:14:27 AM »

Hello Juanito!

I did almost the same with just the neceessary packages onboot. Went back to the prompt and downloaded both mpv and tlc and nothing failed. Afterwards trying them out they worked but there was no sound. They are depending on alsa. Back to square one.

Kind Greetings,
meo

TCB Talk / Re: Tiny Core v17.0 upgrade issues

Well….
5 weeks later and an other crash.
Still running the same TC17.1 beta.
Running with nonblocking serial read. So, although non-blocking read fails less than blocking read protected by select(), it still fails.
And also… as the crashing is very sparse, it could be non-serial read related as well.

Anyway
I gave up on finding the Linux rootcause. Now Just concentrate on finding application workaround.
In stead of using the serial port I can get the same date from an http call. I already tested that and it works. So maybe I will walk that path.

So, if it were not changes in the source (dillo), neither in the destination (the TC forum), then maybe is the middle man (the network)

I don't think my network is blocking anything , if that's what You mean.

when i attempt to use dillo to navigate to https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php i get a small window that pops up with

"The remote certificate has expired. The certificate wasn't designed to last this long. You should avoid this site."

and has a "continue" button and a "cancel" button

i assume the referenced "certificate" is something in/on dillo since i don't see any expired certificates at the website

Extension requests / Re: OMXPlayer for piCore32.

« Last post by Juanito on August 09, 2026, 05:58:36 AM »

I rebooted an RPi5 running piCore64 17.x with only openssh loaded onboot.

Loading vlc and alsa or mpv and alsa from the console prompt, I could play a test mp4 video with sound on an hdmi monitor with powered speakers connected to the hdmi monitor's sound jack.

Note that from the console prompt, the video resolution with both mpv and vlc is incorrect. If played from a gui, the video resolution is correct.

Note also that both mpv and vlc have been updated recently.

I used OMXPlayer a lot before and it could possibly solve my problem with getting sound in piCore64 but if I'm not misinformed OMXPlayer can't be made to work on piCore64 for example.

omxplayer used the old closed source broadcom gpu drivers, which have been replaced by open source mesa drivers.

To get sound from the audio jack you need the alsa extension, to get sound via hdmi you need alsa and graphics-KERNEL.

Just a thought I have tried to download vlc and mpv but both caused a blackout it in a GUI.

As said previously, loading graphics-KERNEL from a gui will result in a blank screen, you need to load it from the console prompt.
