Quoted from Zigzagzag:For anyone interested : you can run the serial media server on the same Pi as the sound runs on.
This saves you buying 2 Pis, cabling etc.
The following assumes a basic knowledge of Linux and that you are able to SSH into the TiltAudio card, use SCP to transfer files to it and use nano to edit config files there.
This is the recipe :
1) Install TiltAudio card as normal with appropriate sound pack featuring the right serial.txt command files
2) Set up TiltAudio with serial server address 127.0.0.1 and port 19999
3) Install serial media server into the directory /home/pi/serial-media-srv on the TiltAudio Pi as described here : https://github.com/sker65/serial-media-srv
The easiest way is to download the master zip (https://github.com/sker65/serial-media-srv/archive/master.zip) and unzip in the /home/pi directory.
Afterwards, rename /home/pi/serial-media-srv-master to /home/pi/serial-media-srv
Copy /home/pi/serial-media-srv/serial-media.service to /etc/systemd/system
4) Make a directory "smsdata" under /boot on TiltAudio SD card.
Make a directory "data" under "smsdata".
Put your mediafiles there
5) In /home/pi/serial-media-srv/start.sh, edit the BASEPATH :
BASEPATH=/boot/smsdata
6) Create /boot/smsdata/data/serial-media-srv.ini using the content as shown in the readme on the site above but enable the socketport :
socketport=19999
7) In /boot/config.txt on the SD-card for the Pi, comment out the line DISABLE_HDMI :
# for pi4 disable status at startup
#DISABLE_HDMI=1
Enable the serial media server : systemctl enable serial-media
9) Reboot
Tested and working on a Pi3b.
him everyone, i'm new on this forum.
so, i bought the tilt audio a couple weeks ago, since then i not have sucess on showing videos on the screen.

lua disable, serial port enable, device serial /dev/ttyS0
install all apt-get metioned on serial-media-serv Readme
media pack from cftbl correctly inside boot/smsdata/data with default.jpg manually installed.
