Hello,
I have a DART-MX8M development kit based on the i.MX8M. In general I want to play on a loop a specific video, so when the dev kit is turned ON it redirects me to the cmd window where I type the command:
gplay-1.0 - -repeat 'name of video and file type' and it works fine. As an improvement to that, I would like to automatically play this video the moment I turn the dev kit ON (at boot) without having to type this command every time. I looked online for scripts that enable autostart of applications during boot, but they don't seem to work for GNU Linux. Would you be able to help?
Regards
Hi Angelos,
The simplest way to do that is to add this command in /etc/rc.local script, so that it will be executed automatically during startup.
For example, you can add:
cd /usr/bin (where you put your application file)
./your_application
If you want it running in background, you can use ./your_application &
