Play a video; simple, right?

[barryfernelius]

I'm using an Adafruit Feather and a Gameduino 3X Dazzler. I'm programming in CircuitPython.

I'd like to play videos that I've stored on the SD card. In the Arduino environment, this is pretty straightforward:

--
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <GD2.h>

void setup()
{
GD.begin();
}

void loop()
{
MoviePlayer mp;

mp.begin("fun-1500.avi");
mp.play();
}
--

So, how do I accomplish the same thing using CircuitPython?

Hmm, you make an excellent point. There's no MoviePlayer object for CircuitPython yet.

Have raised this against bteve, the source repo for CircuitPython Gameduino:

github.com/jamesbowman/py-bteve/issues/3

I'll post an update here when it's done.

Many thanks!

(By the way, is .avi the only allowable video format?)
