GPIO Folder Control #216

Open Blake0206 opened 4 months ago

Blake0206 commented 4 months ago

I was writing to suggest a feature that would allow for a new folder of videos to be played in random order when GPIO is pressed. If there is a way to modify the code to make that work then I would appreciate it! Maybe something to do with a new playlist being selected on GPIO press.

I'm looking for something similar. I was thinking playlist, but folders would be easier for organization. For example:

GPIO 15 : "assets/folder1" (begins playing videos from "folder1")

But to add to this, I'd like to be able to jump to the next folder (or playlist) with another input. Such as:

GPIO 16 : "+1 folder" or "+1 playlist" (switches to the next source alphabetically - folder1 > folder2, etc)
