omxplayer is the software responsible for the actual video playing. Toni, from Adafruit, created some sort of wrapper to it to make our lives easier. I would take a look at its documentation because I believe there should be a way to do the random playing...

Hi, this is such a GREAT idea. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to the Arduino Nano I have in the timer, reprogramming it to do what you just said should be easy. Will work on that.

Toni, from Adafruit, did an amazing job in documenting and creating a fully automated script to install the video-looping code in the raspberry. The beauty of it is that you don't need to know how to code!! You can get the video-looping working in a no time. You're right: I only needed the adaptor because I was using an old monitor. If your has the HDMI port, you can skip the adaptor.

That's exactly why I built my own... It was a tradeoff: the real deal is very expensive... :-(
I hear you!! They do have movies and full series episodes there too.... most of my files are commercials though.
I truly hope he can build you one with the instructions I made available here! If not, I'm sure there should be a nice Maker space around to help you out!

No issues at all. I tried this video loop program on the Pi Zero, Pi 2 and 3. It works fine on all three of them!! Feel free to use whatever you have at hand. As per the speaker... I got a super cheap one at Value Village. I'm playing super old B&W shows, so the sound is really not good which matches the speakers I have :-) I would go with the cheapest PC speakers you could find. Another solution is to use a LCD TV rather than the Monitor, to save the work of setting up audio... Happy to chat about it in person any Thu night (open house nights at Snoco Makers)
