PiCar
Finished my Pi Car and evertrhing seems to be working except can't get the video to play or respond at all - any suggestions on where to start trouble shooting?Hello,
This is usually caused by the inconsistency between the VLC installation path and the path of the client software call.
You should modify the VLC.txt file according to your PC's VLC installation path.
Thanks!
thank you - tried that
On a side note, why does it have double "\\" lines?
I've attached my error message if that helps.

1. The double '\\' means the second '\' isn't a special character.
Example:
If you want to out print "
python code: print(' " ') or print(" \" ")
besides, on windows OS, if there are spaces in a path, you need to use "path" instead of 'path'.
2. I write a python code to test the VLC function.
#
import subprocess
def import_path(initial):
with open("VLC.txt") as f:
for line in f.readlines():
if(line.find(initial) == 0):
r=line
begin=len(list(initial))
snum=r
n=snum
return n
vlc_path=import_path('addr:')
cmdline =
player = subprocess.Popen(cmdline, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
#
You can simply run this code to see if the VLC.exe runs.
remember to put this .py in the same folder as VLC.txt in.
If VLC media player runs, then there may be other error that I can't think of for now.
If VLC media player doesn't run, check the path in VLC.txt again, make sure the format is right. or you can tell me where the VLC.exe is and I help you to change the VLC.txt.
thanks

Thank you - will let you know how it goes.
Yes, vlc working, but no - PiCar won't call it & send images - error message is in PDF attached to earlier post.
Plus I don't see any kind of "Contact Us" button on this website to ask Adeept!

That wasn't it - now uninstalling all the software and will re-install this weekend - then pull it apart and use it for kit parts for other things!!
Re-installed all software and now even wi-fi won't work - will now dismantle and use parts on a Elegoo model that does work.
