a complete novice question but I would like to show a film on a 5 inch screen that plays when a button is depressed, and stops when the button is unpressed. Would I be able to do this with raspberry pi?
I found this https://www.vanderbilt.edu/the-wondry/build-a-button-driven-video-player-using-a-raspberry-pi/ which I assume is modifiable for different types of buttons, but as a total novice I'd like to advice before spending money
Should be possible but best use a pi5 or it might struggle.
Pi 5 seems overkill. If it's a 5" screen it's not going to be a load of 4k stuff (or it shouldn't be).
