Hi,

I have a Kobo Nia and I want to use it as an « Image Viewer (with auto-refresh) », I see many ways to do this, but none seems to work in 2021.

I want to do something really simple like the script « /etc/bin/Kobo/demoloop.sh »

But, if I do from telnet :

Code:

zcat /etc/images/splash.raw.gz  | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic

Nothing happen.

And If I do the same from the NickelMenu, I have glitch on screen (like a rotated screen maybe ?). But nothing more.

If someone have an idea ?

My fbset output :

Code:

[root@kobo ~]# fbset

mode "758x1024-0"
        # D: 0.025 MHz, H: 0.029 kHz, V: 0.028 Hz
        geometry 758 1024 768 1024 32
        timings 40000000 12 76 4 5 12 2
        accel false
        rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
