Hey guys! Been a while since I've posted on XDA. Anyway, down to business.
I just ordered a new PI2 and after thinking for several days on what sort of project I would like to make, I've come to a decision. I would love to make a "video jukebox" of sorts that randomly shuffles through episodes of the Simpsons.
I have debated whether it would be easier to use an old LCD screen I have with a connection on a breadboard, or just buy a cheap HDTV with HDMI input and plug and play.
Ideally, i'd like a rechargeable power source inside the "box" that would allow me to pick it up and move it around if I please.
Also, I would like the interface to be as simple as possible. I literally want a play/pause, and next button. That's it. Can we boot the PI and have a video player open automatically and start shuffling through a giant folder? The idea here is that you turn it on, and it starts playing random episodes of the Simpsons. I'll probably put all of them on a 128 gb stick. Also will need built in speakers. I may even waterproof it.
So, my question to you? What are your ideas, and how would you get started? What kind of display? What video player? What of external power? I am going to build the case out of nice finished wood. But even that is open for debate. What are your thoughts/suggestions???
