Raspberry Pi Media Player
Filed under: Software
A pretty common task for exhibitions I support is to have some kind of tiny unobtrusive media player box that can play a bunch of video or audio files on loop for anything from a small listening station with some headphones to a 4k projector showing a feature video.
Since this has come up again and again for me and I’ve had multiple different versions of a setup like this for which I’ve somehow managed to loose all the source files I’ve decided to write this blog post in the hopes that when I have to do this again I’ll actually remember how I did it this time.
I’m not gonna go into every detail here, like how to set up systemd services, but if you want to take a closer look all the scripts and files are available for download at the end of the article.
