play image files? #9

Closed guergana closed 1 year ago

guergana commented 5 years ago

several people asked at fubar if still images or gifs could be played.

hacklab01 commented 5 years ago

omxplayer can't play gifs so that's a no go. Other players like mplayer etc play them properly but overheating is an issue there.

cyberboy666 commented 5 years ago

i havnt tried yet but there is an extension for openframeworks here which might handle gifs: https://github.com/Geistyp/ofxGif, also it is possible the default ofVideoPlayer (not the omx version) might have a go at it ...

but yes overheating / performance still might be a problem for the pi0

Noob question, but how do I get my own video assets playing on the Boi? I looked through the files and didn't notice the repository for it. Also, what type of USB cameras are compatible with Recur Boy?

Hi, you can play your own files by plugging and usb stick to the Raspberry pi in a /Videos folder at the root. The camera works with an easycap. https://www.amazon.de/Videoaufnahme-Adapter-EasyCap-DC60-USB-2-0/dp/B00SKCI232
