It can also be configured to loop the playlist.
So with that, you could invoke VLC from the command line and give it a file to play automatically - then use the web interface to "trigger" switching to another file immediately while leaving the initial file in the playlist to be looped back to once done. I'm fairly sure ALL the major video player apps for linux have a web interface. Of course this moves the time/cost from "writing an app" to "configuring the system" as you will need to setup your linux distribution, have it start the x-windows environment upon bootup[but not a desktop, just the windowing system], and then start VL - that is assuming you don't want a desktop, you just want a pure video player. Then you can design your trigger app. Not a non-trivial amount of time, mind you. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
