EdgeTV is an open-source video player designed specifically for monochrome EdgeTX radios like the RadioMaster Pocket. It uses a custom Run-Length Encoding (RLE) system to bypass hardware limitations and provide smooth playback with synchronized audio.

📂 Project Structure

• /Sd_Card: Contains the Lua script and a demo of "Bad Apple".
• /Pc: Contains the Python script and Windows .exe to encode your own videos.

Installation

1. Prepare the SD Card: Connect your Radio's SD Card to your computer.
2. Install the Script: Copy EdgeTV.lua from the /Sd_Card folder to your SD card:
   • /SCRIPTS/TOOLS/
3. Setup Video Folder: Create a folder on the root of your SD Card named /VIDEO/.

Note: In EdgeTX 2.10.5, audio may continue for a few seconds after exiting a long video. This is a known limitation.

Importing Your Own Videos

To convert your own videos, you will need Python and the Pillow library installed on your computer (or use the included .exe on Windows).

1. Open the /Pc folder.
2. Run the encoder script (replace myvideo.mp4 with your video name):

   python encode_video.py myvideo.mp4
   
    Copy the generated .rle and .wav files to the /VIDEO/ folder on your SD card.
   
    Add the video name to playlists.txt on your SD card (Must be the exact filename without the extension).
