PiVidPlayer

Raspberry Pi-based, Python-powered video player

Code Spec: To monitor 9 Arcade buttons to control playing and skipping videos and playlist selection.

To Address:

1. Video Playing

Test class

2. Creating Playlists

Playlists.py now compiles all playlists (based on search criteria in a text file called 'PlaylistDefs.txt'). It searches all drives for files containing the playlist name (ie Peppa Pig) and dumps their location to a playlist file (Peppa Pig.txt for instance). To Do - Add more playlist compiling options, and maybe a copy function to import from external media.

3. ButtonPresses

Monitor Buttons, debouncing, measuring whether pressed/held, combination presses

Run related function for that sequence

List sequences here, and the press and hold functions:

Button1 (Playlist 1)            Load Playlist1, Vid1 - Load Playlist 1, Random

Button2 (Playlist 2)            Load Playlist2, Vid2 - Load Playlist 2, Random

Button3 (Playlist 3)            Load Playlist3, Vid3 - Load Playlist 3, Random

Button4 (Playlist 4)            Load Playlist4, Vid4 - Load Playlist 4, Random

Button5 (Playlist 5)            Load Playlist5, Vid5 - Load Playlist 5, Random

Button6 (Playlist 6)            Load Playlist6, Vid6 - Load Playlist 6, Random

Button7 (Previous Button)       PrevVid - Rwd

Button8 (Play/Pause Button)     TogglePlay - StopVid

Button9 (Next Button)           NextVid - FFwd

                                UpdatePlaylists

4. GUI

WelcomeScreen - display a splash screen while loading playlists

PlaylistMenu - to consider. Possibly load small icons to represent playlists rather than har coding.

Settings - Menu for configuring timers and other parental features

ModeSelect - Mode1 will be the video player. Look to expand use of the project with more modes.
