How To Play Videos

You can play many types of videos on the screen, using mplayer you don't even need to run X and you can script the

movies to play using Python. We'll show you how to just play one video for now.

To demo, we'll use an mp4 of Big Buck Bunny for 320 pixel wide screens. Below we show you how to create/resize

videos, but to make it easy, just download our version with:

wget http://adafruit-download.s3.amazonaws.com/bigbuckbunny320p.mp4

If you don't have mplayer yet, run

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mplayer

to install it. It may take a few minutes to complete

The video is 30MB which is a lot if you haven't expanded your SD card yet. Before you do this, run sudo

raspi-config to expand the SD card so you don't run out of space!
