Hi Guys,

i need help with writing a program and unfortunately i don’t know how to start. I have already implemented a number of Raspberry projects, but only according to instructions or I only had to make small changes, for which I was able to work out the solution specifically with the help of google.

Now I want to create something completely own, for which I couldn’t find anything comparable on the Internet that I can paraphrase.

It’s about the following and probably also quite simple project:

I need a video player that pulls random videos from different folders and plays them back. The function should then be as follows:

The Raspberry starts up and pulls a random video from “Folder 1”. The randomly selected video should now play in a continuous loop until a button is pressed via GPIO. When the button is pressed, a random video from “Folder 2” should be played. As soon as this video has expired, a random video from “Folder 3” should start. As soon as this video is played, a random video from “Folder 1” should be played in a loop again, as at the beginning, until the button is pressed.

That’s all. It would be “a nice to have” if I can feed the videos to the memory card via my network. However, the videos have to be saved locally on the Pi’s memory card or an plugged in USB stick, since the application should also work without a network connection when on the move.

Can someone help me with this or, even better, write me a corresponding program?

Of course, I would also be grateful and, depending on the actual effort, give the helping person a discount on my mirror (if there is interest in it) or something similar. I would be really very grateful. Unfortunately I can’t do it alone and I just don’t have the time to teach myself everything to make this project a reality.

Thanks in Advance
Chriz

Hey,

I am interested in joining the order, do the mirrors come with pre-made mounting holes?

There are no mounting holes in the glass. What do you need this for? These would be possible via a special order, but first I would have to ask for a price.

One question: Are the glasses tempered?

no, with a mirror for our application (hanging on a wall in front of a monitor) that is not necessary at all. Tempered glass is only used where it is exposed to particularly high mechanical influences. and that is not the case with a magic mirror.

The matter has now been finally clarified and Ivanov_d has his damage replaced :) Since otherwise all mirrors have reached the users to their satisfaction and now the unfortunate case of Ivanov_d can also be concluded positively, it is time for a new list :)

You can now register again. The conditions from the first thread remain the same ;) I’m not opening a new thread because I think we can continue the orders in this one. So go on guys, let’s see when we get the 10 users full this time :)

it has always been like this 😅 you can often see that the boxes had to go through a lot, but that’s why the mirrors are so well packed that nothing happens anyway ;) so far the mirrors have always arrived safely.

ivanov_d had the bad luck that someone walked around on his package and stepped on it several times (there are many shoe prints on it) and that the box was probably misused as a ramp or something. It would have needed an armored wardrobe as shipping packaging to avoid damage here …

@uros76 Chris told me that the side with the protective film on is the ‘outside’ of the mirror.

Protective film? Mine did not have any protective film.
@Goldjunge_Chriz can you indicate how do I recognize which side is which?

that’s true. There was no film attached to one of the mirrors at the factory. then that was probably yours :) the film also has no function, but is simply intended to show the correct side.

If you compare both sides with each other and hold them in the light, you should notice a side that is a little lighter and reflects better. this is the coated side, i.e. the side you look into. The other side has a little less mirror effect.

@Ivanov_d and I are already in contact by private message. I am sorry that the mirror arrived damaged. I am already in contact with the shipping company. Unfortunately, @Ivanov_d did not complain about the external damage to the wooden box when he accepted it or refused to accept it. Now it will be very difficult to prove anything to the shipping company, the company will now claim that @Ivanov_d broke it after they brought it to him. As it looks, due to this omission, the burden of proof now lies with us and that is going to be damn difficult…

Update: Mirrors have been picked up and are on their way to you ;)

Update: The mirrors have come and I was busy packing yesterday :) Will need some time for packing tomorrow and maybe Tuesday. On Wednesday, the mirrors will be picked up by the shipping company and sent to you on the way ;)
