Raspbery pi 4
Rasbian legacy lite
Trigger video with gpio
Pins 26, 20, 16 shorten to the ground on rpi.
Default video and three more.
I have followed step by step with your read me instruction.

First of all thank you for your great work with this script because is very helpful. When I start test I have some problems with following things:

1. When the default video starts everything is OK and the buttons on gpio work perfectly but when I Don't do anything and default video is playing on loop is doing great but when I want push any of three buttons I must push any of button twice because when I hit it once nothing happens. It looks like this script sleep and push button for the first time switch off this sleep.
2. When your program run 24h/day when the default video looping I must switch off raspberry power and then power on because the screen is freeze or I must push any pins button to switch of some kind of sleep.

I will be very grateful for your answer and help.

Hello,

This is a brilliant solution to a problem I have and it ticks every one of my boxes.

My only problem is that when the process is called from rc.local on boot it will still show the console inbetween switching the videos. I've tried adding cls to the initial script and also adding os.system('clear') to the .py file but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe I'm not putting the clear command in the right place? I'm using the GPIO version.

If the script is run form the command line it works fine - unfortunately when and where this setup will be deployed I won't be in a position to start it from the command line.

Thanks in advance
