The version that featured in CQ-TV 251 is media:tcanim1v04.zip


Tips:

To set the HDMI output to 720 x 576 x 25i, uncomment and edit these lines in /boot/config.txt and then reboot:

hdmi_group=1

hdmi_mode=17


Problems:

Running on Raspbian Jessie Lite gave the error message:

./tcanim1v15: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To fix this, while connected to the internet, type: sudo apt-get install libjpeg8
