@Jopyth Have you had any luck with this mate?

I haven’t looked at it for a while, have had a few things going on so haven’t had chance

@Mitchfarino did not have the time for it. I will see if I get to it, when I get back from vacation in one week.

I experimented with this a bit yesterday. Thanks to @rvdgeer for the hint and @Jopyth for the initial code to start.

I ripped a YouTube video to disk and uploaded it to my Pi, putting it in the vendor folder. Adding this to my config.js was surprisingly effective (the rotate 90 is due to the video being designed to be projected on a window):

{     module: "helloworld",
      position: "fullscreen_below",  
      config: {
                text: "<video src='vendor/halloween.mp4' autoplay loop style='transform:rotate(90deg); position:absolute; top:50%;left:30%; height:50%'></video>"
               }
 },

@bhepler ~~What video did you use?~~ Sorry I missed the link

How did you rip it from YouTube?

@Mitchfarino
check your chat ;)

Mitchfarino

@yawns Awesome, thank you!

Mitchfarino

@bhepler Is there a way to loop through a number of videos, rather than just the one on repeat?

bhepler

@Mitchfarino Presumably you can inject some scripting to define an array of video files and then call a function to play the next file in the array. If you call that function from the onended() event in the VIDEO tag you should be able to get 90% of the way there.

Mitchfarino

@bhepler Any idea how to do that?
