Working Autoplay on boot! #88

Closed baronlanteigne closed 5 years ago

baronlanteigne commented 5 years ago

Not an issue. I just figured that after spending a few hours figuring this out, I would share my solution for a simple autoplay on boot that also supports keyboard input to stop your video (ctrl+c) and edit your script.

I used this method by Matt Hollander: https://www.matthewhollander.com/play-video-on-startup-of-raspbian-on-raspberry-pi/

To make it short. You create a .sh script that launch /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync The .sh script is launched within a terminal with a .desktop file located in /etc/xcd/autostart

Thank you for getting back to me. After diving into many internet forums, I choose the method of creating .sh and executed it from terminal which auto-open after login.
