tinyloop

  • tinyloop is a raspberry pi image for video installations.
  • No need to log in; drag-and-drop video files onto the SD card itself, or onto an attached USB drive. Headless setup, plug-and-play.
  • Playback mode determined by the media content loaded:
    • Perfect seamless gapless endless looping of video with sound
    • Perfect seamless gapless endless looping of video
    • Looping playlist of multiple video files with sound (gaps between files)
    • Loop a single file (as gapless as omxplayer can manage)
    • Simple scripting, e.g. a short seamless video loop with a long gapless mix of audio files
  • Comes with sample content showing all playback modes.
  • Read-only system for reliability; no shutdown needed, simply unplug.
  • Tested on rpi zero and zero w, should run on earlier models.
  • Modern filesystem (NTFS, HFS+, ETX4) and large file support.
  • tiny; < 2GB, leaving plenty of space for media files. Power to video in 17 seconds.
