First time using python, need some help with pictures.
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 3:43 am
Ok bare with me this is the first program i have written in python.
The idea of the program is to be able to scan bar-codes and have it play a corresponding video, that part works fine.
But I also want the screen to be either black or display some other picture like "please scan object" or something at all times when the videos aren't playing, basically once I start this program I don't want to see the Rasbian desktop.
And this is where I seem to be having trouble, first when I start the program the screen goes black like it should but then as soon as I scan something it closes the black picture and I have to re-scan whatever I just scanned to open the video.
Second whenever the black picture is up there is text showing what file is open etc at the bottom of the screen that I don't want there.
I don't even know if fbi is the best way to do this so any suggestions would be helpful
Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all
while True:
import os
os.system("sudo fbi -d /dev/fb0 -a -T 2 -v black-screen.jpg")
name=input("Please scan object")
addressbook = open("ab.txt")
for line in addressbook:
record = line.split('|')
if record[0] == name:
found = True
break
else:
found = False
continue
if found == False:
print("Object not found")
else:
number=(record[1])
path=("/media/pi/USB DISK/Pyro Preview/videos/")
os.system("sudo killall fbi")
import sys
movie_path = ((path)+(number))
from subprocess import Popen
omxp = Popen(['omxplayer',movie_path])
