Omxplayer and Bullseye

Thanks @plainbroke which version of buster do you recommend? The last One?
Is there a quick way to transfer the modules to the new MicroSD … without having to re-download all the modules again?
-
@Egnos sadly, I wouldn’t even recommend Buster. OMX crashes everything regularly here. I’ve taken to using the camera’s snapshot feature, and MMM-Proxyimage to display a frame every two seconds to keep things stable.
From my point of view, it’s been a race to see who can bloat out the most lately, electron, camera providers, etc. Leaving our poor little hobby computers in the dust.
-
@BKeyport so would you go on a Stretch?
-
@Egnos latest node/npm don’t work on stretch, and thus electron
-
Windows?! 🤣
-
@Egnos most of the GPIO stuff doesn’t work on windows…
-
@sdetweil in fact mine was a joke!
So which OS does the least damage?
-
@Egnos
I am currently using the latest Buster with 5 different rtsp cameras ( i use carousel) and I have no problems viewing them.
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
Just my 2 cents. Unless someone much smarter than me can fix Omxplayer in Bullseye. I have resigned myself to stay on Buster until I can’t anymore… -
@Egnos
Use sdetweil’s backupRestore module it makes it pretty easy to reinstall it all into a working order and it saves your config.js and custom.css very important in my case I do not want to ever go through all the hours spent trial and error testing to get my mirror the way I wanted it… -
@plainbroke buster is the Legacy image
