OLED imaged unknown image format, but working

Open NoSloppy opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Looping stacked frame BMP displays fine, no error. Single frame BMP displays fine, but 'Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1' Non-looped PBM also works but 'Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1' Seems they're just not read right and not matching a case in the TAG2 switch? Looking at the PBM file, it does have a 'P4' magic number, yet the error gets reported.

For non-looped options, only PBM is working by using Imagemagick convert Just doing cat *bmp > boot.bmp makes a file, but it doesn’t animate on OLED. Shows first frame only for duration. Windows copy /b *bmp boot.bmp = Same results.

It would be great if a 3rd party command line image tool wasn't required to get these non-looping to work. It's a bunch of hoops for the average user to get it installed with NetPBM.

Could you attach the files that have the problem(s)?

Single frame BMP displays fine, but 'Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1 pos=576'

For non-looped options...........(attempting BMP. Again, PBM works fine on screen, although reports Unknown format)) Just doing cat *bmp > boot.bmp makes a file, but it doesn’t animate on OLED. Shows first frame only for duration.

Actually, today it's not showing anything, and also has Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1 pos=62130 https://www.dropbox.com/s/24egu08nqlu6i3c/clsh.bmp?dl=1

I'm guessing that the "unknown image format" things just happen when it reads past the end of the file. Might not be worth fixing, but I will take a look.

This is still an issue, right? (If so, I should take a look at it before 7.x comes out of beta.)

It is. It does it, and to my best recollection, I couldn't narrow it down to the file format, or processing steps, or any traceable attribute. I'm up for trying any tests to help.
