[video_looper] # What video player will be used to play movies. Can be either omxplayer or # hello_video. omxplayer can play common formats like avi, mov, mp4, etc. and # with full audio and video, but it has a small ~100ms delay between loops. # hello_video is a simpler player that doesn't do audio and only plays raw H264 # streams, but loops seemlessly. The default is omxplayer. video_player = omxplayer #video_player = hello_video # Where to find movie files. Can be either usb_drive or directory. When using # usb_drive any USB stick inserted in to the Pi will be automatically mounted # and searched for video files (only in the root directory). Alternatively the # directory option will search only a specified directory on the SD card for # movie files. Note that you change the directory by modifying the setting in # the [directory] section below.
