Hello UDOO forum. I'm new to UDOO and don't know where to begin. I am looking for an arduino that can playback video. HD 1080p. The UDOO might be what I need. How will the UDOO playback video that is controlled by a arduino sketch? Start, Stop, Pauze, set playhead time. without showing OSD video playback UI elements. Will I have boot time to startup Linux / Windows/ Android. I'm looking for a standalone system. running 24/7. No mouse / keyboard needed to boot and be up and running. Hope someone can tell me if this is possible and whare I should start reading. Thanks Remko
It might be possible, if you run an application that can receive serial commands, though I am not aware of anyone who has tried it on the UDOO X86. The method might be to use an Arduino sketch to send serial commands to the media player application that is running on the main processor. The Arduino could send the commands in response to sensor or other variable changes.
You could try to program an application with python and the python library moviePy. Other programming languages should have the same possibilities but I am not familiar with those.
OpenELEC is an OS designed for media playback: http://openelec.tv/ Though I have not been able to find documentation on whether it is possible to have serial port control on that OS
