Video player -> would someone like to help me to write a program?

I know 😅 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 “placeholder 1”
IF GPIO “XY” ist true
THAN Select random Video from Folder “placeholder 2”
ELSE Loop previous selected Video from Folder “placeholder 1”
IF selected random Video from Folder “placeholder 2” is over
THAN select random Video from Folder “placeholder 3”
IF selected random Video from Folder “placeholder 3” 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 “placeholder 1”. once all steps have been processed, he should simply play a video from “placeholder 1” 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 :)

Yes, i can help. infect i have also seen few open source scripts/players where one or more things are controlled by GPIO. I have limited time so i can not commit any time line for this yet.
-
OK. I had actually hoped for relatively quick help, but if it doesn’t work sooner I’ll have to live with it :) I’m happy if someone supports me at all :)
