1.54" TV Plays Channels - Requires DLNA bridge

Requires DLNA bridge

EDIT:

The code:

==============================================

I used ESP32-S3 1.54inch LCD Display Development Board, 240 × 240 Resolution

sold by Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GSZ7VG5N

and vibecoded it to play 24 fps video(basic profile h.264)
The 500 mAh battery lasts about100 minutes while playing videos.

This required a DLNA bridge

The bridge had the benefit of allowing my other TVs without CDVR app to play content from CDVR and still allowing ad skipping

That's great! I love tinkering with stuff like this. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the inspiration!

Get another one. Then attach them to a pair of clear glasses. And BOOM! You've made your own Apple Vision Pro!

Just to remind you the problem of multiple TVs synchronization remains unsolved after the digital transition.

Code published, ready to flash. OP updated.

I just ordered two of these to experiment with, I have a few smarthome / Sonos / smart tub control ideas I'd like to try out, along with tiny TV action! Thanks again for the pointer.

I also ordered a smaller device but with a bigger screen. It has almost the same chips. I just need a faster H.264 decoder. The current one looks fine, but it needs upscaling.

I like what you have done! I also ordered 2 and I have flashed one of them but it is stuck at "No bridge found". When I go to its IP address it shows Version 0.4.0 and next to Bridge it says "not found". It says the page is read only and "Change it on the board: Settings → Web control." I can't figure out how to get to Setting - Web control. Thanks for helping me!

Why is your bridge non-discoverable? Can your TVs play from it?

Not sure what your are asking. I can play channels from my server with iPhone and Mac Apps. Plus when I go to my server admin, Live TV works. I guess "bridge" is what is throwing me! Thanks!

Read the OP. It states the DLNA bridge is required.

You also hit a real bug. I've released v0.4.1. Thank you for testing!

Thanks!
