ok, I think I got it.
Though python uses True/False for booleans, the value in the config file has to be lower case.

So please use:

config.lcd.flip=true

Thanks, I will try it tomorrow.

no need to wait, should work with todays version

Yes, I just verified that was the problem (lowercase), before I read your post. I noticed all the other settings in the file were lowercase so I tried that, but... The behavior isn't what one might expect, see attached lcd-shot...

You'll notice beyond the "broken" display, the characters are still right side up, although reversed left to right & swapped top to bottom, i.e the channel is A&E and is usually on top of the display and the time is 14:42, usually on the bottom right ...

In standby it looks like it wants to display correctly, upside down, but the characters are so broken up it's a pretty subjective guess. From across the room it looks like an upside down 14:52, but up close it's so jumbled it's hard to believe I thought it was 14:52 from across the room...

ok, feared that
We'll need to bitswap as well.

[pieterg]

and now just hope the pixeldata bytes contain horizontal lines, though your picture makes me assume it's worse than that.

[hemispherical1]

Are all the changes contained in enigma, i.e. can I just rebuild enigma to test?

Ps. I have no use for flipped LCD, just had some time and thought I'd help...

[pieterg]

yes, just pushed two commits which might fix things.

[hemispherical1]

Unfortunately it looks the same & I'm pretty sure I made no mistakes. Your last 3 enigma commits were in the logs for 10 min before I built a new image. I went init 2, renamed /usr/bin/emigma2 to /usr/bin/enigma2~ & copied the new enigma from my build environment ( build-dm800/tmp/rootfs/openpli-enigma2-image/usr/bin/enigma2) to the 800's /usr/bin & went back into normal init 3... Unfortunately the screenshot looks basically identical...

Could you try to find out which 'is_oled' value the dm800 uses?

[pieterg]

btw, for 8bpp displays (or for 1bit displays which use 8 bits per pixel), the bitswap makes no sense. So that might explain why you see no difference.

[pieterg]

ok, one more try (this is getting embarassing, public trial and error)

[hemispherical1]

Could you try to find out which 'is_oled' value the dm800 uses?

Ya, if you tell me where to look...

[pieterg]

by putting an eDebug message in lcd.cpp.
Anyway, I take it my final attempt didn't work?

@pieterg & @hemispherical1

Thanks for the help; I, of course, have no idea what you are doing/trying but appreciate it anyway.

[hemispherical1]

Sorry, not a coder. I can build other folk's creations, but you lose me at eDebug...

Last attempt looked identical to the previous 2. It's dark here now so I can't take a picture (flash washed out the lcd)...

Do you know whether it's a 128x64 or 132x64 display?

[hemispherical1]

Nope...

Did a check on all related LCD files in my DM800 and I did not find any reference to size of display. As near as I can tell it is black and white (greyish) and measures 25mm W by 15 mm high.

Sorry I cannot help you out more.

invert should have inverted the display (black<-->white).
