I have had a Incredisonic IMP 150 playing a 45 min. clip for over 7 months without problems. It restarts automatically after a power outage and loops with about 20 sec. of black and cost around $40.00 from my local electronics dealer. There is a brief logo when it restarts after a power failure.

Seconding Andre's vote for raspberry pi. The best thing about this - the device is single-tasking. I've seen digital work sabotaged by a Windows OS cry for software update in the gallery. . . Size makes physical installation more fun/interesting in a gallery space as well. It can be

This is a really low bitrate file, actually — like, 10mbps. And I’ve tried it with a 45 minute file, and a much longer one. It just seems to stutter and drop frames after a while. > On Feb 27, 2016, at 3:23 PM, todd eacrett wrote: > > > Oops. Didn't read that you are

Has anyone tried the Micca Speck G2 or IncrediSonic IMP? They're cheap and tiny, no streaming, just file playback. I've been told they loop seamlessly or with just a very short black screen, but no logo/icon. If anyone has used either, do they output analog audio and hdmi video at the same time

Hi Paul, that was exactly the same situation I found myself in last fall! In the past, when i was looping only one video, i used a mac mini with VLC, because that was the easiest and smoothest. But when I had a project with 3 separate looping videos, and i couldn't get 3 mac minis... that's

Amanda, Thanks for the info. I’ve been thinking about creating the 10hour video in quicktime as a solution. How did you play your 10 hour video? On a mac? We’re going to need three players, and I’m not sure I’ve got 3 macs (minis or laptops) that I could use during the duration of the show.

Media players are terrible with long videos. Are you playing one long file? The ones I have used have all had a file size limit of a few gigs, so I've had to cut up my long videos into 10-minute chunks. Plus if you are coming from a Mac, the media players are all Windows-formatted, so there is

I went through a pretty big search for something similar last year, and it's harder than you would think. most of them to have at least a black screen if not a reloading symbol between each loop. here are the results from my search: 1) the Lacie LaCinema media player can do it, but it has
