Tech Stack: Python, python-vlc, pygame (Joystick), tkinter
Problem Statement
Art installations and exhibitions often need a dedicated, robust video player that works on retro hardware (CRT TVs) with unconventional input devices (joysticks). Standard media players are oversized for these scenarios, offer no joystick control, and no CRT-optimized interface. A minimalist, exhibition-ready player is missing.
Description
A minimalist fullscreen video player designed for CRT televisions with joystick control. Offers loop mode, volume control, 10-second skip, and a large CRT-optimized start screen. Controlled via joystick buttons/analog stick or keyboard.
Use Case
Play music videos on a CRT television — controlled with a joystick.
