    Unfortunately, it comes out the same. Regardless of the programming language, I am not able to set it up on my own.

    In which programming language it finally runs, I don’t care :) it should just work.

      @Goldjunge_Chriz MMM-VideoPlayer gets close.

      this module has buttons on screen u can use w mouse or touchscreen. similar idea

      for the storage, you always use something in the module folder. For server side, you mount the server shared folder and then use the linux ln command to make a link into the module folder.

        The whole thing should not run on the Magicmirror, but as a completely independent solution. A completely new Pi (preferably the Zero WH) that only fulfills the above-mentioned function, nothing else. I don’t need any buttons either, you don’t have to switch anything, pause, etc., I don’t need any of that ;)

            I know šŸ˜… that’s why I posted it in general discussions. I’ve been an active member here for years and I was just hoping someone with programming experience could help me, even if it’s not a magicmirror project.

              May be you can check https://github.com/osmc/osmc ? this is open source media player, you can modify the source code to support your feature ?

                many thanks :) I know this player. Unfortunately it is and remains just a player. Here too… some script has to be created to implement my wishes. And here is the problem again …

                  I need something simple that works according to the following example scheme:

                  Start loop
                  Select random Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 1ā€
                  IF GPIO ā€œXYā€ ist true
                  THAN Select random Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 2ā€
                  ELSE Loop previous selected Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 1ā€
                  IF selected random Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 2ā€ is over
                  THAN select random Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 3ā€
                  IF selected random Video from Folder ā€œplaceholder 3ā€ is over
                  THAN go Back to start
                  End Loop

                    @Goldjunge_Chriz got it… will check if i can help you with it. Is it fine that background script is starting and stopping the player based on GPIO input ?

                      the player should actually always run automatically. So boot up and automatically play the first random video from ā€œplaceholder 1ā€. once all steps have been processed, he should simply play a video from ā€œplaceholder 1ā€ again until the button is pressed. And so on in a loop, until you shut down the raspberry. I would like to avoid one or more actions.

                      Thank you in advance, I think it’s great that you want to help :)
