General / Re: HQ snap issue

« on: March 12, 2019, 02:39:00 PM »

If you’re on a RPi and have followed my instructions to stop the out of sync issue (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2786.0) and they’re no longer out of sync and instead they’re just very jerky, it’s likely they’re just too much for the pi to handle. HQ snaps from emumovies are going to be too much for the Pi. I have found success with SQ movies brought down to 24 FPS using VLC (h.264 encoder).

I'm commenting here because I've fixed this issue on my Raspberry Pi.

The issue (as of today...hopefully it will be fixed in the future) was introduced in some version of Attract Mode and rolling back to an older version will fix it. This assumes you have already installed all the prerequisites of Attract Mode and Attract Mode itself. From there, go to a command line and enter these commands:

Code: [Select]

mkdir develop
cd develop

Note: Do not use "--depth 1" since it will only get the most recent version. We need a past version.

Code: [Select]

git clone https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract
cd attract

This will get us the most recent version that has no loss of sync. The last line should say "HEAD is now at 793c2f8... Fix 'non-blocking mode wait'" (etc)

Code: [Select]

git checkout 793c2f8

Now we compile and install.

Code: [Select]

make USE_GLES=1
sudo make install USE_GLES=1

Now you check your version of Attract Mode with this command. It should be v2.4.0-10

Code: [Select]

attract -v

If everything worked, we can get rid of our develop folder because we don't need it anymore.

Code: [Select]

cd ../..
rm -r -f develop

And you're done. Feel free to reboot or just run Attract Mode by typing "attract".
