RaspresPy

This is an easy python script for automatic and seamlessly looping of videos managed on Raspres.com.

Why?

Because I was so fed up with the fact that is was nearly impossible to put Videos on a Raspberry and start looping them seamlessly without any hassles.

Features

  • Mange your videos through an online dashboard on Raspres.com. No more running around with USB-sticks, free to manage up to 3 Raspberries.
  • Will automatically start looping any video you throw at it.
  • Will launch at boot.
  • Also supports Presentations (Use Libreoffice - Impress, make sure auto-loop/play is on)

Setup

  • Create an account at Raspres.com
  • Make sure your Raspberry is setup and is connected to the Internet.
  • Open Therminal and run sudo git clone https://github.com/Grisgruis/RaspresPy.git RaspresPy
  • run cd RaspresPy
  • run sudo python install.py
  • Have Patience...
  • That's it

Raspres will start running and will show its Mac address which you can add the a device on the Dashboard. You can assign this device to a group on your account at Raspres.com. When you've uploaded your first video and linked to device to a group, it will automatically start playing the video and start looping.

Problems?

  • Make sure your Raspberry has an internet connection.
  • No sound support yet, due to the fact omxplayer --loop is unable to loop seamlessly.
  • Does not support videos within Impress presentations, any ideas are welcome, probably some driver problem.
