RCA video with PiPlay? And how to expand filesystem?

TheNinjaChef

Hi,

I need help with two issues today!

1) I would like to output video with RCA to Scart. I have tried editing the config.txt etc, but to no luck :( Any ideas?

2) I am using an 8GB card where only 4GB of the memory is being used. How do I expand the file system?

Still new to all this,

thanks :)

For your first problem, I don't think you need to edit the settings, I think you just need to get a cable or plug that converts RCA to scart. (one like this http://brain-images.cdn.dixons.com/4/1/07059814/l_07059814.jpg) I could be wrong here.

For your second problem. Go to your command line. Type "sudo raspi-config" This should bring up a blue screen. Select the first option "Expand filesystem". This will give you all the space on the SD card.

EDIT:
Looked at the FAQ and found this (problem 1)
If there is no video using a HDMI to DVI lead or adapter, edit /boot/config.txt and uncomment

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

I have a RCA to Scart cable. It works on everything else, EXCEPT for the RPI, which leads me to beleive it's the settings.

Thanks for expanding the filesystem :) easy! :D

You can edit the /boot/config.txt and put

# uncomment for composite PAL (color)
sdtv_mode=2
#sdtv_mode=0 Normal NTSC
#sdtv_mode=1 Japanese version of NTSC – no pedestal
#sdtv_mode=2 Normal PAL
#sdtv_mode=3 Brazilian version of PAL

sdtv_aspect=1 #4:3
#sdtv_aspect=1 4:3
#sdtv_aspect=2 14:9
#sdtv_aspect=3 16:9

#force tv mode
hdmi_group=1

Howdy, Stranger!
