Hello,
Novice here, I have a client that wants to have a display that's taken to trade shows or setup as a Kiosk that displays a static image or a blank screen initially but when a person pushes a button a video on a USB drive is played to give them more information. There are plenty of things out there that will loop a video but the client doesn't want a video loop, just a push button to play then it goes back to a static image or blank screen. I found this project by Alex Lubbock (https://alexlubbock.com/raspberry-pi-vi ... r-software) that seems to do what I want but I'm having issues getting it to work with a button/switch connected to the GPIO. I've verified I'm on the correct version of debian and that the omxplayer and the vidlooper script works correctly when I call the video to play by directly using the file path but the python script doesn't seem to recognize or utilize the button command as intended. I've seen posts and videos of others that have gotten this to work (https://youtube.com/shorts/uQ27XDXj42Y? ... QcF6CStuli) in the past but for some reason I'm having trouble with it. Anyone have any ideas or know of other similar projects that would accomplish the same thing?
Thanks!
