One Piece TV

These Python scripts are used to make a modified version of the Desktop Simpsons TV found here work. Please show the original author some love!

Changes

This version contains a few changes:

1. This version uses VLC instead of omxplayer because omxplayer is no longer supported.
2. This version plays the episodes in order not randomly like the original.
3. I have created a setup script that will download the needed libraries and will set up the service in a common area so you do not have to use the pi home directory in the original version. PLEASE REVIEW THE SETUP SCRIPT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE STEPS DO AND ANY CONSEQUENCES (Do not blindly run any scripts even from me)

Set Up

This step is to be done once all the hardware is working on the device. Once the hardware is functioning correctly you can simply copy over the installscript.sh to the Raspberry Pi and run sudo chmod u+x ./installscript.sh to make sure that the os sees the file as executable and then run the script with sudo ./installscript.sh.

This script will do the following:

1. Run and Update and an Upgrade.
2. Install VLC, Git, and Python.
3. Make the directory /var/git which is in a common area.
4. clone this repo into /var/git/onepiecetv.
5. Grant access to all users the files in /var/git/onepiecetv.
6. Setup tvbutton.service and tvplayer.service services found in this repo.
7. Enable the services found in the above step.
8. Restart the Raspberry Pi.

Running the Script

1. Review the contents of this script and the steps that it is going to do.
2. Make your way to the home directory cd ~.
3. Copy the install script from this repo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crabbymonkey/onepiecetv/main/installscript.sh -o ./installscript.sh.
4. Make sure that the OS sees the file as executable sudo chmod u+x ./installscript.sh.
5. Run the script sudo ./installscript.sh.

After the Script

After the Pi restarts your service should be running. Add any videos that you would like to have the device play in the /var/git/onepiecetv/videos directory, restart may be necessary.

Note: To get this working with VLC I had to add the resolution and aspect ratio of the screen in the Python script. The default I have in the script is for this screen. If your display has different dimensions than 480X320 with an aspect ratio of 3:2 then please open /var/git/onepiecetv/player.py and edit the file based on the comment in the file for your display. If anyone knows of a way to not need these hard-coded values I would like to implement that.
