Here’s a new package quickly put together: Endless Tile Player - info-beamer. It shows what info-beamer on the Pi5 (and probably Pi4, didn’t test yet) is capable of.
It can play images, videos or plugins (currently the new browser) in a 3x3, 4x2, 2x4 or 2x2 grid. Videos play in an endless loop. Browser content can be reloaded after some minutes.
The screenshot above is from an example setup with a 3x3 grid on a 4K display playing:
- 1x2 browser showing the info-beamer website
- 2x1 HEVC video of size 3840x1080
- 1x1 H264 video of size 560x320
- 2x2 HEVC video of size 1920x1080
While that’s probably close to the limit of what the Pi5 can do, it runs pretty flawless. For a real setup, it’s definitely recommended to have content that closely fits into the pixels size of the grid to avoid having to resize the video tiles.
