Video Playback
- Omxplayer is a video player specifically made for the Raspberry PI's GPU made by Edgar (gimli) Hucek from the XBMC project.
- omxplayer comes pre-installed on our raspbian distribution.
- Try it out.
- Copy a movie file to your raspberry pi using scp. The movie needs to be .mp4 format.
- you can transcode with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i mouse_brain.wmv mouse_brain.mp4
- run omxplayer:
omxplayer ~/Movies/mouse_brain.mp4
- You can control playback with a number of hotkeys:
ffmpeg
- Install this on your computer, not the raspberry pi.
- install homebrew
brew install ffmpeg
- using ffmpeg to transcode a video file:
ffmpeg -i ~/Movies/dogkiss.mov dogkiss.mp4
Scripting Video Playback
video_loop.tar
- We can send the hotkey controls via STDIN in python:
- shell script to play a directory of files. (good at corporate conventions)
