      @Goldjunge_Chriz you don’t need python for this. you can do it all in javascript

        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 😅 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 ?
