mp4 and I heavily recommend using mp4 format. It can play a few video formats including. Now we have to copy our spooky videos to the ‘Videos’ directory. # The path to search for movies when using the directory file reader. Find this line and add the path to the ‘Videos’ folder so it looks like this: We now need to provide Video Looper with the path of the folder where videos will be stored for playback. Then disable osd (on screen display) so it will look like this: Then we are going to disable the information that’s displayed before videos are played. Since we are not going to use USB, comment the first line and uncomment the second line, so it becomes like this: Scroll down in the file and find the section where it says: Open the file in the terminal with preferred editor: We will edit the ‘video_looper.ini’ file to make desired changes. By default Video Looper needs a USB flash drive plugged to the Pi in order to play videos we are going to change that. We now have to make some changes to the Video Looper scrip. Which means our script installed properly. Once the script is installed, you will notice that the monitor hooked to the Pi goes blank and a message to insert USB drive is displayed. We change directory to the video looper folder: It plays selected videos in fullscreen mode automatically.įirst we clone the Video Looper repository from GitHub onto our Raspberry Pi. I found a great open source script called Video Looper. My desired solution was that the horror show will start as soon as the Raspberry Pi boots up I didn’t want to open the file and play it in a media player. Since we are going to create a projection show, I wanted to automate things as much as possible. When you open the microSD card, you should see all files as seen below: Make sure that you have copied the content of the NOOBS directory to the microSD card. Unzip the content of the downloaded NOOBS file and then copy them to the microSD card. Plug in your microSD card to your PC and format it as FAT32. If you are a Windows user, then you can use Putty to manage your Pi remotely. I am assuming you are either using Linux or macOS because these two platforms come with the Terminal app that allows users to perform many tasks from the command line.
