Hi I would like help setting up this little project.
I want to be able to activate a welcome video on to a TV screen with a Raspberry Pi when some one come's through a door if this is possible.
New to the Raspberry Pi so need all the help I can get.
Thanks.

I could ask my colleagues who put up this welcome message on one of the doors in our company. It is definitely doable.

Hi if you could ask your colleagues how to and what items I would need to achieve this would be great.
Thanks

They bought this module

The Disco Ball was a 3€ one from ebay and the loudspeaker I don't know from where. The IR part is separate and small.
The video is still rendering at youtube... I wonder how long it takes. A funny prank anyway.
