        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 :)

                        that looks very, very interesting.

                        Can you help adapt the code for my needs? :) that with the playlists seems like a really interesting approach.
