You probably want to install raspbian-us-net install to get rid of all the bloat ware.

For SD videos, use omxplayer. It's command line and you can google it on how to use it. For hd videos, well, they won't play well on the pi so I find a way to convert them to SD.

Re: Windows text file to the PI

FileZilla is an easy way to transfer files. If you want to use a usb stick, all you have to do is copy the .py file on the laptop, then insert it into the Pi and copy it there, like any other computer.

Why do you want to connect it via gpio. It would be faster and easier to get a brickpi or do what I have done: just get nxt-Python on the Pi and connect to the brick via USB or bluetooth.

It may be a bit slow, but in my experience it is not that limiting. You could create an ad hoc network with your Mac or pi a d then connect the two. This way you can use it anywhere. There are plenty of portable screens,but getting them to sit nicely in a cafe is a hassle unless you create a case to...

All you need to do is put another while in the while loop which waits until the led turns off, and then continues.
