Video support! #348

gwendal-h · 2023-10-03T17:28:37Z

New features supported for the 5 inch Turing screen:

File upload
Delete file
List files and directories (internal storage and SD card)
Start/stop a video
Draw image / texts / progress bar on the video

1 small fix:

Fix the UPDATE_BITMAP command when drawing a big image (image size > 65535)

Fix the UPDATE_BITMAP command when drawing a big image (image size > 65535) This bug happened when trying to draw a long text with a big font size.

Sample code file "test_new_features.py" is provided to demontrate the new features.
New sample code file "simple-program-video-mode.py" is basically "simple-program.py" but in video mode.

Video dimensions must be 480 * 800. I added some sample videos as an example.

I still have to improve the performance: the refresh is a bit slow and it takes too much CPU.

Nice job! I'm looking forward to testing it this week-end when I got some time 🚀

Reduces a lot the data sent on the serial bus.

My Turing 5" just broke 😞 I was testing your code and everything was working fine but suddenly my computer restarted and I think it broke the screen, now it connects/disconnects in loop and won't respond to commands, I need to order a new one...

Fix update image payload: last 250 bytes packet must not end with 0xef 0x69. and last 250 bytes packet must not be "0x69 0x0000..." nor "0xef 0x69 0x0000..."

Improved refresh rate with JIT compiling the function _get_visible_segments with numba

Oh no! what happened ? Was it like a micro power outage that broke it ? You could try pluging the screen with the other cable (There's the USB-C cable and the 4-wire cable that you can connect to your mother board directly.)

gwendal-h · 2023-10-08T13:53:01Z

So this week-end I was able to fix the last remaining issue: sometimes the resfresh would freeze and the status reply was "NeedReSend = 1" ...

Turns out the last 250 bytes packet of the image payload can not end with 0xEF69.
And the last 250 bytes packet can not be 0x69000000... or 0xEF69000000...

So in that case I add a "dummy" visible pixel field to fix the image payload format.

Now the script "simple-program-video-mode.py" is running smoothly.

But man that was time consuming to find this one :).

gwendal-h · 2023-10-08T14:32:46Z

I also tried to improve the refresh time to the best i could.
I ended up using numba to just-in-time compile the function _get_visible_pixels. (Python was quite slow in those loops)

On my computer the average refresh time went from 0.056 s down to 0.016 s ! (so much less CPU consumption in real application!)

Without numba :

refresh_without_numba.mp4

With numba :

refresh_with_numba.mp4

Fixes #439

Hi, sorry I did not find time to review your PR before but I will try to do it as soon as possible!

This is excellent work and it works great with my 5" Turing display.

Have you figured out a way to copy files FROM the device locally? I'd like to backup the stock videos off my device.

n-i-x · 2024-01-11T04:12:37Z

simple-program-video-mode.py

+# Set your COM port e.g. COM3 for Windows, /dev/ttyACM0 for Linux, etc. or "AUTO" for auto-discovery
+# COM_PORT = "/dev/ttyACM0"
+# COM_PORT = "COM5"
+COM_PORT = "COM4"


This should be "AUTO"

n-i-x · 2024-01-11T04:12:50Z

simple-program-video-mode.py

+# - SIMU   for 3.5" simulated LCD (image written in screencap.png)
+# - SIMU5  for 5" simulated LCD
+# To identify your smart screen: https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/wiki/Hardware-revisions
+REVISION = "C"


This should be "A"

library/lcd/lcd_comm_rev_c.py

+
+    def ListFiles(self, dir_path : str):
+        pyd = bytearray()
+        pyd.extend(len(dir_path).to_bytes(1))


pyd.extend(len(dir_path).to_bytes(1, 'big'))

Fix throughout

simple-program-video-mode.py

+    lcd_comm.SetBrightness(level=50)
+
+    # Check if video is loaded and upload video if needed.
+    video_size = lcd_comm.GetFileSize("/mnt/SDCARD/video/particle_wave.mp4")


My device doesn't have an SDCard, but there are plenty of videos on internal storage. Maybe check if there are any internal videos and randomly select one instead of trying to upload a video to the SDCARD which may not exist?

Or, split these examples out into an sdcard and an internal storage version? There may even be space available on internal storage to push the videos.

Mine had nothing on internal storage.

You can upload a video on internal storage, with the "UploadFile" function by setting the argument "destination_path".

For example: destination_path = "/root/video/video.mp4"

I don't know if it's possible to download video from the device's internal storage. The software provided by the manufacturer doesn't have that feature.

@gwendal-h Would you please update this to the latest release? 🙏

gwendal-h · 2024-07-01T11:00:48Z

@mathoudebine Could you merge my pull request to the main branch ?

Walrus98 · 2024-12-23T16:07:59Z

any news?

gwendal-h · 2024-12-23T20:22:59Z

Nope no news, I didn't follow this project so I don't know if my branch has drifted from the main branch. But you could try my commit @Walrus98 it should work if you want to display a video on your screen !
