TaTranky 1 Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Hi All, I'm trying to setup a Raspberry pi with a touch screen (HDMI & USB, Waveshare 15,6") for kid entertainment in my car. I'm all good on emby server and Emby Theater app, but I can't figure out why my touchscreen events stop while playing videos... I get events (and the touchscreen works) while browsing the menus etc. but as soon as I play a video, the touchscreen stops responding. As soon as i press esc to exit the video, the touchscreen is working again. This is true when running the emby theater linux app, and also when watching through a browser (chromium). I know this is not directly an Emby issue, as the same issue exists on youtube.com I verify the input events from the touchscreen using this command (I'm remote accessing though ssh) DISPLAY=:0 libinput debug-events & here's the event log: event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.019s event5 TOUCH_MOTION +128.032s 0 (0) 84.77/67.79 (262.08/118.16mm) event5 TOUCH_MOTION +1803.834s 0 (0) 84.77/67.79 (262.08/118.16mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.032s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1803.834s event5 TOUCH_UP +128.048s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_UP +1803.850s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.048s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1803.850s event5 TOUCH_DOWN +1805.482s 0 (0) 13.42/58.62 (41.49/102.18mm) event5 TOUCH_DOWN +129.680s 0 (0) 13.42/58.62 (41.49/102.18mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.482s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.680s event5 TOUCH_MOTION +129.759s 0 (0) 13.40/58.69 (41.43/102.30mm) event5 TOUCH_MOTION +1805.561s 0 (0) 13.40/58.69 (41.43/102.30mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.759s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.561s event5 TOUCH_UP +1805.571s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.571s event5 TOUCH_UP +129.769s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.769s -event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +152.493s *** (-1) pressed -event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +1828.295s *** (-1) pressed event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +1828.415s *** (-1) released event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +152.613s *** (-1) released -event5 TOUCH_DOWN +1833.327s 0 (0) 75.52/59.96 (233.47/104.52mm) -event5 TOUCH_DOWN +157.525s 0 (0) 75.52/59.96 (233.47/104.52mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1833.327s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +157.525s event5 TOUCH_UP +157.526s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +157.526s event5 TOUCH_UP +1833.328s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1833.328s event5 TOUCH_DOWN +157.527s 0 (0) 76.42/48.73 (236.26/84.94mm) Here, I'm tabing a movie and starting it, but haivng to press the ESC key on a keyboard to exit the movie and gain control with the touchscreen again... I hope some of you can help with solutions or maybe suggestions on where to look / how to proceed? Thanks!
TaTranky 1 Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 Update, I can see that events from the touchscreen is comming into the /dev/input/event5 file while playing video. However the libinput is not registerign the events... Tested it with VLC media player, to verify that it wasn't a web-based issue... But can't use my touchscreen after starting a video on VLC either... What am i missing...?
Luke 39008 Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Hi, did you find out anything new about this?
TaTranky 1 Posted January 10, 2024 Author Posted January 10, 2024 Nope, still stuck on that project... any ideas?
Baenwort 98 Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Did you try asking on the Raspberry Pi forums? Which Raspberry Pi OS and version are you running? I ask as I'm not seeing this with my Pi 5 and Bookworm and I wonder if it is a Pi 4 problem (I don't have one to test) or a OS problem?
Solution TaTranky 1 Posted March 9, 2024 Author Solution Posted March 9, 2024 Somehow, It's working now... So, i guess working on another project for a bit of time helped Have no idea on what changed... 1
