    It starts in the middle of a video because it's emulating switching TV channels and it being the middle of a tv show...at least, I think that's what they're going for.

      I figured all videos play from as soon as you turn it on even if you aren't on that channel, just like old-school TVs would

  • @Neskicks
    @Neskicks 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +57

    I have one of these! All video files start playing in the background when you turn it on, so it gives the effect of channel surfing when you switch channels. The audio works best with old TV ads and vintage movie trailers which were made for treble-heavy, “tinny” speakers (like drive-in speakers), so played on the TinyTV it actually sounds right. It can’t handle the richer deeper tones of more recent sound capture. I love this little thing! I went to Internet Archive and grabbed whole TV broadcast blocks of TGIF and the Simpsons, and Night of the Living Dead, some old movie trailers and Christmas specials. The cumulative result is my childhood on a 1-inch screen!

      @MagnumForce51 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I imagine it's not technically playing them all in the background. That would require a lot of cpu resources. More then likely what's happening is there's a global timer and it syncs the timestamp of all videos to that so they resume at the correct part given the amount of time has passed since they were last "selected" as the channel. I am pretty sure that's how it's handling that.

    Man they did a darn good job imitating that phosphor glow. Also the resolution on it is kind of nuts.
    Edit: I don't think it does pick a random spot. I wonder if it plays all the files in real time to further mimic a TV, so if it takes you 10 seconds to get to that video, it'll be 10 seconds into the video by the time you get to it. If that makes sense.

    The fact that it actually picks up just randomly in your videos, actually makes sense. And here is why. This is trying to mimic an old-school television. When you would go to watch a TV show you had to pick up wherever it was in the show. You couldn’t rewind or fast-forward it. He just had to go with it. And that’s what this little TV is doing. It’s giving you that genuine old old-school TV experience.if you want to see that video from the beginning well you’ll sit there and finish watching it and then it will start over. So yeah, I kinda like that. It is giving you the old school experience.

    My father didn't get cable until 1981. 😀
    I remember that (kssk) when changing channels. In a way I miss those "analog" days sometimes. I even miss UHF sometimes (kids ask your parents or look it up).😆
    Remember before remotes existed. You had to walk to the TV to change the channel.

    210 x 135? That's the resolution of those little tiny displays that were on the back of those folding phones. The repurposing displays. I can get behind that. They're making a pretty penny The screens are like five bucks a pop

    It is possible the sd card is of the slower variety but it does soundlike the usb port they are using is pinned for usb 2.0 instead of usb 3.X. It does also appear to be connecting as a multi media device (think of how pcs recognize your powered on phone when you connect it to move files around), this matters because there is a lot of overhead added to the file transfers between the 2 separate oses as they communicate with one another and hand off & accept each bit.

    The audio is equivalent to many cellphones. That’s the new gold standard of audio these days unlike the past with a subwoofer and two hundred watt tower speakers.

    seems to be just an MP4 video player...been around for a long time and an MP4 player is way cheaper...i use to have the Radio Shack 2" color LCD TV back in the late 80s early 90s...used it in my car with a velcro attached tinted lens to eliminate night glare...was able to listen/watch Married With Children while traveling between cities off of a roof mounted antennae...car looked like an insect with those antennae deployed ...lol...but it worked great

    I’ve had one of these in my Amazon wishlist for the longest time now just waiting for the price to drop even a bit. $60 for the V2 is still pretty steep considering what it is and what it can do, but what irks me, as someone who likes to tinker, is that the DIY/kit version for (what looks like) the original V1 is still $75 for a handful of off the shelf components on a pre-assembled PCBs and a 3D printed housing. Granted, the PCBs are probably custom, but I can’t imagine even that would justify that high of a price if they’re mass producing them in even moderate quantities…

    Kinda did this years ago with an RCA 2" color camera monitor unit interfaced with a tiny vhf 2/6 receiver module via video/audio output. Made it battery powered via portable. Use it mostly when field testing homemade video/audio vhf analog tv transmitters.

    this kinda reminds me of the Panasonic travel vision portable tv's from the 80's only this is even smaller and it's in color. The only thing it's missing is a 3.5mm av input or a micro hdmi input

    That's adorable, I love all things small. It could have so many uses, book nooks, doll houses, any miniature setting. You could use it as a fireplace, put a specific file on it to represent almost anything. A little too pricey right now.

    Kinda cool, super cheap made though using a vape pen battery and pie screen by the looks of it. Nice novlty idea i remember those small portable camping TV's from back in the day reminds me of those only way smaller. I am sure kids would get some use out of it.

    The time code may actually be related to how long the device has been playing, like if you are watching a video for a minute, any other video you switch too might be a minute in. Like when you are watching live TV... also it is meant to be a little toy, not something you'll watch tons of videos one
