I am trying to reproduce the results of playing video from an SD card on a Teensy 3.6. I first saw a YouTube from Mick Helstrom of MickMake where he demonstrated the T3.6 playing Big Buck Bunny. I tracked down the code used through the forum. I think I have all the required libraries and the Teensyduino software loaded correctly. I AM NOT A CODER,...yet. At this point using the code I found in the forum discussions and an ILI9341 LCD, I have something on the screen that resembles analog TV with a vertical hold problem. It seems that the video, "Big Buck Bunny" is actually playing but there are at least three squashed screens of it.
I have spent the last two weeks trying everything I can think of and I always get the same result. I am using the Original BigBuckBunny.bin file that Frank B. posted on Github. I have used his code in Processing to generate another BIN file but the results are the same. I am wondering if there has been a change in either Teensyduino (1.39), or possibly the Arduino (1.8.4) software that no longer supports the code. The code was discussed or rather the thread began on 09-05-16 with Frank B showing a video file with the video playing.
My project needs this exact implementation of the T3.6 especially because the time to the video playing from power application is very short. I have a version running on a Raspberry Pi Zero, but the video only begins to play after 45 to 60 seconds.
Ultimately I would like to have a script for the T3.6 that will begin a default video at start up (Power ON), and then play that video until one of 10 or so switches are pressed, then a different video associated with the switch is played until another switch is pressed.
As I stated above I am not very adept at coding, but the thread where playing video from the SD card made me believe that this can be accomplished. I just purchased a new display but it acts the same as the original I tried. The original is an Adafruit 1983 shield for the Raspberry Pi so I began to think that there might be other electronics on the display board that was interfering with the playback. But the new screen is a Plain Jane ILI9341 screen and after connecting it to the T3.6, it acts the same. I did notice that the Library called SdFat.h does not change color in the #define line like the SPI.h and the ILI9341_t3DMA.h does. Maybe this indicates I have not installed the library correctly?
Any help that can be provided would be appreciated. Getting this close to having my project realized has gotten me excited that it can be done. Thank You, Bob
