Is there a feature to send video to the colorlight 5a-75b. OR please I need a guide on sending video frames to the board.

Thanks for your interest in the project! You're able to send video to the 5A-75B with PanelPlayer provided it's in WebP format - this means no audio. You'll first need to compile PanelPlayer. On Ubuntu this would be something like:

  1. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/ZoidTechnology/PanelPlayer.git
  2. Change directory to the cloned repository with cd PanelPlayer
  3. Install libwebp with apt install libwebp-dev
  4. Build PanelPlayer with make
  5. Enter the build directory with cd build

Once you've built PanelPlayer you can run it with ./panelplayer -p <ethernet port> -w <display width> -h <display height> video.webp. Depending on your configuration you might need to run it with sudo.
