video loop playing and update via USB

Sat Feb 15, 2014 11:47 am

Hello,
I need to create an MP4 player that plays like 1 to 10 files one after another in a loop. Without showing other graphical things in the background except a blackscreen or a video. The MP4 files must be replaced with the files that are placed on a USB stick right after the USB stick is placed in the Raspberry. So the player needs to be paused or stopped during copying (duh :P) A progress bar or a dialog that says which file is being copied is allowed to pop-up. I have some experience with python. I wrote my own script (very simple i think) and created hardware for reading car data via OBDII (to show you what we build from scratch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb93lDVH ... nLB5lZsvDw)

I already found an arcticle about OMXPlayer and some info about the usb part. But I want to know if there are people around here that knows exactly what I need to know or critical information about some parts in the code. Any help is welcome and appreciated :)

If the information is not complete enough just tell me and I will add it to the OP and in a reply.

Thanks in advance! :D
