Just making sure I’m on the same page as you…

You are wanting to use a button for each video on your Raspi which would mean you are going to have 5 buttons conected to the Raspi?

And, you are not wanting clickable buttons on the screen?

are you going to have a keyboard connected to your Raspi?

@sputnik

are you wanting the same setup as @remylpat is requesting?

If you are wanting different setup or options, let me know. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@justjim1220 You are right. No clickable button on screen. My preference is physical button on GPIO or bluetooth remote if simple.

Anyone give me an idea on which of these module works the best with RasPi?

I want to integrate one of them into a different module I am creating that will also use them…

So looking for ease of use and understand-ability not only by myself, but for the user.

(I don’t have a RasPi, So will also be looking for anyone willing to help test it for me as well.) :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@sputnik & @remylpat …

Give this a try…

See if it is anything close to what you are wanting…

Still tweaking it a bit, but it is working.

I am working on getting it to work with the RasPi buttons also.

Please give me any and all feedback, Thanks! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
