Arthur T Knackerbracket submitted a link to an interesting hackaday story about a DIY video player. The approach taken is very simple, using a Raspberry Pi to do all of the heavy lifting. There's also no user interface. The Pi scans for any removable media that has been inserted, and if it finds something it automatically plays the video files contained on the card. For anyone interested in building a no-frills, portable video player this might just be the ticket.
Yep, Pi 1 B. But it could handle a limited amount of playback, and of course I never had any problem with audio decoding. And sure, that's the nice thing about improved models - maybe I need to lay my hands on a new one. Haven't been much into it for quite awhile, played around with arduino a bit for a specific project. But of late have been too busy for any fun like that.
