Automation, sensing and robotics • Re: Utilizing GPIO with VLC Media player

A simple example with no error checking that runs OK on my Pi4 running Bookworm 64-bit

Code:

from gpiozero import Buttonfrom signal import pauseimport subprocessdef playvid():    result=subprocess.run(["cvlc", "/home/pi/Videos/bunny.mp4"], capture_output=False, text=True)button = Button(21)button.when_pressed = playvidpause()

Nice! Do you possibly think this could have multiple videos incorporated? I currently have a script set up and I have it auto launching VLC using Root access and it’ll play my first video of (3) fine.. However, I can’t for the life of me seem to find out why the associated GPIO pins will not trigger the videos.(the specific GPIO pins correlate to “Video 1”, “Video 2” ect.
I’m using SSH to send commands to a secondary Pi for video playback.
