r_e_c_u_r

a diy video looper for py/pi

things to do / bugs to fix:

• reload video on press is broken - the pause after load (when its not loaded in time) seems to not to work
• mkv files break coz length lookup fails

things iv done on a freshly flashed pi to run/dev r_e_c_u_r

• sudo apt-get install git

• git clone https://github.com/langolierz/r_e_c_u_r.git

• sudo apt-get install gedit

• change keyboard layout : sudo raspi-config => localiation options => change keyboard layout => generic 104 => english us => english us => the default for => no compose => no then sudo reboot

(for reading video lengths :) sudo apt-get install ffmpeg and pip install ffprobe (needed a sudo apt-get update in there the second time too)

note that to set up the file to browser you will have to create a fle called path_to_browser.json and put in it "your/path/to/browser"
