Site to locate raspberry pis, and quick dev update

Hello again!  I am always trying to help others find raspberry pis, and have a new site that may be helpful that I learned about today.  The site is: https://rpilocator.com/.  They have a stock alert RSS feed. The bad news is that I don't see ANY Raspberry pi 4 2gig on there, but I'll keep updating you as I do.

Development is continuing and I'm deep in a major update that I'm trying to get out by the end of...

Development updates and some FAQs answered

Hello again Patrons!  Development update and status on some of the things I'm working on for the next builds.  

FIrst I'd like to celebrate 50 Patrons!  That's a great milestone and the bigger the community, the better it is for everyone.  Even in the first month with 20 patrons I've gathered a ton of great feedback to make things better, and have been busy answering questions and emails.  Please don't be shy to ask questions, I'm here to help!

Developer Blog - Closing out Febrary

Greetings, This is a behind the scenes of what I'm working on so you will know what features should be coming in the next few months.

1) Working on content / Artists

I've been working hard to try to get artists onboard, and the honest reality is I'm still too small to get noticed by many that could provide quality content. So I'm taking a different approach...instead of trying to get the amazing content on platforms like deviant art, instagram, plotagraphs etc. into the web store....

Please use the HDMI Port closest to power

If your pictures are working but videos are 'blacked out' please make sure you're using the HDMI / Video port that is closest to the power port. Just had a report come in and with some excellent debugging on a Patron's part, she figured out this was the fix. Sharing as I didn't know it mattered myself :)

What kind of art packs would you like to see?

So as I work on Patreon rewards, and work with artists and stock image providers to get content, I'm curious what kind of content would you like to see?  I'll put some options below, but also feel free to message me/reply/etc. with other ideas you'd like.  I have an artist I'm working with for this months, but in the future I'd like to add lots more!

I'll work to build / purchase these packs and get them into the store for all of you.  If you are unable to stay on Patreo...

New Build and artwork pack!

Hello there! So it's 4:10am as I write this...It can be the tough part of being a developer  and a Dad.  I'll talk more about that in an upcoming meet and greet I'm hoping to host either this month or next.

Tonight marks 2 major updates!   A new release, and a 1080x1920 (vertical) video art pack for testing and your enjoyment :)

First things first...the new build link (no password). Note the image file is a few folders down in this one.

Behind the scenes 2: Fixes, Volume control, upload tutorial

This is a bit of a smorgasborg video of requests and info.

1) A number of users are hitting issues where the startup is hanging at the startup video (or randomly at any video).  I figured out a fix for that to make it more reliable tonight and will work on packaging that up for either Friday or Sunday evening.

2) I've had a number of people ask about a volume control (separate from the on/mute for video playback).  I'm excited to say that feature will be in the next rele...

Behind the scenes - Animated gif progress

This is what Animated Gifs look like on Dynaframe pro.  This isn't ready yet...it eventually crashes (segmentation fault) so it's not stable enough to get out. I've worked hard to get it to this point, but I'm going to have to work with the Avalonia team on their timeframe to see if I can get it fixed.

That being said my other workstream is to make a tutorial video of the software, I'll be filming that tomorrow night, and working on some bugfixes that have been reported.  I'l...

Video Tutorial coming this weekend! And welcome

I want to thankyou and welcome all of you!  I'm working with some of you on getting the installs working, and realize that a video walkthrough will help out immensely so I'll work on that this weekend.

Written Instructions are posted!

This post has linked the written instructions for setting up the software and basic configuration.   I'm uploading it as a word doc and a PDF version, however it may take me a few tries to get the PDF Version right.

Welcome!

Hey, I want to thankyou for your interest in this Patreon. I'm currently working to set things up, and finalizing the first February image. I'm expecting to release a bugfix image at the end of February based on feedback or issues that are found, and then will roll into March with patreon only art packs and content as well as tutorial videos.  I'm also planning the setup tutorial video for Patreons in February so stay tuned!
