On your raspberry pi 3 update and upgrade: > sudo -i > apt update > apt upgrade > apt install omxplayer
Then make a script:
> vi /home/pi/play.sh
And put in the following information
#!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 $1` do for file in /video/*.mp4 do /usr/bin/omxplayer -o both -b $file done done cat /home/pi/log #show contents rm -f /home/pi/log #then empty touch /home/pi/log #if doing this often, check the file system is good then shutdown if [ $1 -gt 5 ] then sudo /home/pi/fd sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now fi
You can then put as many videos in /video as you wish to cycle!
On an older raspberry pi 3
Edit the /boot/cmdline.txt to be:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait logo.nologo loglevel=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0
NB This must all be on the same line!
Then
> echo "/home/pi/play.sh 120" >> /etc/rc.local
On the latest raspberry pi 3
Edit the /boot/cmdline.txt to be:
consoleblank=1 logo.nologo quiet loglevel=0 plymouth.enable=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0 plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles splash fastboot noatime nodiratime noram
NB This must all be on the same line!
In /boot/config.txt uncomment or add:
disable_splash=1
Then echo "/home/pi/play.sh 120" >> /home/pi/.bashrc
