http://zuttobenkyou.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/how-to-quickly-make-a-playlist-for-mplayer/ How to quickly make a (sorted) playlist for mplayer January 17, 2009 by Shinobu See my update on July 10, 2010, below (making use of the neat “-iregex” option)! Mplayer uses a simple kind of playlist: a text file with the path and name of each file to be played. The path to the new file is relative to the location of the playlist file itself. So, you can do: 1 find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name \*.\* | sort > playlist

In order to achieve this size and price, several non-essential items usually found on a computer had to be omitted. Laptops and computers keep time when the power is off by using a pre-installed, battery powered ‘Real Time Clock’ (RTC). However, this Real Time Clock module is not included with the Raspberry Pi. To keep time, the Raspberry
Remove Raspberry Pi Logo on startup http://ananddrs.com/2013/09/18/remove-rpi-logo-startup/ The Raspberry Pi logo that shows during startup can be easily removed by adding logo.nologo to the file /boot/cmdline.txt The following command can be used to edit /boot/cmdline.txt sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt The source of this post came from http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=11642&p=417828

The trick is to edit /boot/cmdline.txt file. One may use the following command sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt Then make the following changes to the file: – Replace “console=tty1″ by “console=tty3″ to redirect boot messages to the third console. – Add “loglevel=3″ to disable non-critical kernel log messages. After changing,

Why is that a big deal? Because this version has interrupts. “What’s an interrupt?” I hear you say. It’s a way of waiting for something to happen without checking constantly whether or not it’s happening. Imagine that
http://raspi.tv/2013/how-to-use-interrupts-with-python-on-the-raspberry-pi-and-rpi-gpio-part-2 How to use interrupts with Python on the Raspberry Pi and RPi.GPIO – part 2 Input and Output, interfacing, python programming, raspberry pi Add comments Mar202013 Interrupts are an efficient way for a program to be able to respond immediately to a specific event. In the previous article I explained the basics of using interrupts in RPi.GPIO and gave an example of a simple “wait for an event” interrupt program. In this second article I will introduce “threaded callback” which opens up a lot
http://raspi.tv/2013/how-to-use-interrupts-with-python-on-the-raspberry-pi-and-rpi-gpio-part-3 Multiple threaded callback interrupts in Python We’ve been learning about interrupts this week because of the brand new interrupt capabilities of RPi.GPIO. We covered a simple “wait for” interrupt in part 1, threaded callback interrupt and button debouncing in part 2 and today we’re getting sophisticated with multiple threaded callbacks. “WoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo”, I hear you say. Well actually, we’re not doing much that’s very different from last time, except, now there’s more of it. We’ll add another button and another threaded callback function
