One button safety checkpoint

Kakan1994 · January 30, 2020

Hey.
My friend works at a trampoline park where they are building a safety checkpoint where the customers need to watch a safety video before they can go into the park. They want to have a button that start the safety video and also reloads it after it is finished. Anyone got any ideas what is the most simple way to do this?

something like a raspberry pi and a little script to run the video when a button is pressed?

can you hire someone who is?

Or just run the video on a loop? How long is the video?

I'm trying the RPi solution from this site https://microcontrollerelectronics.com/push-a-button-and-play-a-video/
but when trying to run the script I get this errorlog

Anyone got an idea how to fix it?
