Lightweight video looper for headless Raspberry Pi

Description

This project is intended for those who want to loop a video on the HDMI display without occupying a laptop/PC for this simple task. To control video playback you just need a prepared Raspberry Pi board and a USB drive with the video source (won’t be permanently connected). The project has a few more useful features and examples to use. The project is tested on Raspberry Pi Zero W and Raspberry Pi 4 hardware.

In this short video I insert a USB stick with the config that: copies 3 video files from USB drive, shows all copied files, starts playing the copied file video.mp4:


The repository with the looper is located HERE. Feel free to try or/and exetend it. The full description and how to deploy is in README.md file. Looking forward for your feedback. Happy codding!
