Wanted to apologize to everyone for the blinking cursor bug with the newest videolooper. I introduced it without realizing it by over-aggressively shrinking the partition to ease the download. If you have that bug you can download the newest version below, which fixes that.
Alternatively, you can do the following (Thanks to Anthony Calvano for this) :
SSH in or press Windows key + R at the blinking menu, then you can extend the partition using the directions at "Manually resizing the SD card on Raspberry Pi" located at http://elinux.org/RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions.
This image is compatible with the A,B,B+, and B 2 versions. I have a brand new version of the Raspberry Pi Videolooper that is compatible with the new B V2 and has a bunch of new features that streamline it for easy use. It can now loop one video seamlessly (without audio though) thanks to a solution from the talented individual over at Curioustechnologist.com (link here). And again thanks to Tim Schwartz as well (link here).
For help you can post on the Raspberry Pi subreddit (probably the best way to get fast help) or email me (be forewarned, I respond intermittently and sporadically)
How to set up the looper
Copy this image to an SD card following these directions
If you want to use USB, change usb=0 to usb=1 in looperconfig.txt on the SD card (It is in the boot partition which can be read by Windows and Mac).
If you want to disable the looping autostart to make copying files easier, change autostart=1 to autostart=0 in looperconfig.txt
If you want to change the audio source to 3.5 mm, change audio_source=hdmi to audio_source=local in looperconfig.txt.
If you want to play a seamless video (supports only one for now), convert it according to these directions, put it in the videos folder, and then change seamless=0 to seamless=name-of-your-video.h264 in looperconfig.txt. (NOTE: This video wont have audio so take that into account).
You may also want to expand your filesystem to it your SD card by using sudo raspi-config as detailed here: http://elinux.org/RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions.
If you arent using a USB (NTFS) put your video files in the /home/pi/videos directory with SFTP or by turning autostart off. Otherwise, put your video files in a directory named videos on the root directory of your USB.
Set your config options and plug it in!
Features
NEW: Has an audio_source flag in the config file (audio_source=hdmi,audio_source=local)

Has a config file in the boot directory (looperconfig.txt)
Has a autostart flag in the config file (autostart=0,autostart=1)
Has a USB flag in the config file (usb=0,usb=1), just set usb=1, then plug a USB (NTFS) with a videos folder on it and boot
Only requires 4GB SD card and has a smaller zipped download file
Supports all raspberry pi video types (mp4,avi,mkv,mp3,mov,mpg,flv,m4v)
Supports subtitles (just put the srt file in the same directory as the videos)
Reduces time between videos
Allows spaces and special characters in the filename
Full screen with a black background and no flicker
SSH automatically enabled with user:pi and password:raspberry
Allows easy video conversion using ffmpeg (ffmpeg INFILE -sameq OUTFILE)
Has a default of HDMI audio output with one quick file change (replace -o hdmi with -o local in startvideos.sh).
Can support external HDDs and other directories easily with one quick file change (Change FILES=/home/pi/videos/ to FILES=/YOUR DIRECTORY/ in startvideos.sh)
Source code
The source code can be found on github here.
This is perfect if you are working on a museum or school exhibit. Dont spend a lot of money and energy on a PC running windows and have problems like below (courtesy of the Atlanta Aquarium)!
If you are a museum or other educationally based program and need help, you can post on the Raspberry Pi subreddit (probably the best way to get fast help) or contact me by e-mail at help@stevenhickson.com
