Run these commands

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/ADNewsom09/pi_video_looper.git

wait for the install to complete

cd pi_video_looper
sudo ./install.sh

To Stop: Press Esc or from ssh sudo supervisorctl stop video_looper

To permanently disable video looper, i.e. to prevent it from ever starting on boot again, you can run a small script included with the video looper code. Connect to the Raspberry Pi in a terminal/SSH session and navigate to the folder where video_looper was downloaded. If you followed the installation in this guide then run:

cd pi_video_looper Now run the disable script by executing:

sudo ./disable.sh

Don't worry if you see an error message displayed that video looper is already stopped (this might happen if video looper isn't running when its disabled). After running the script above video looper will be disabled and should not run on boot.

To disable lightning bolt error

avoid_warnings=1

to your /boot/config.txt
