Write a program that will play locally stored movies encoded to a format best for the player; H264 or H265.
I am looking for the most dependable player that can perform many thousands or millions of channel changes without needing a restart. I am partial to Rust and GStreamers' player. It would need error reporting and a good system for deploying and updating.
USB HID keyboard will cause the channel changes.
Installed on small linux computer in kiosks.
Text overlay a channel number.
There are programs to write for our kiosk, but this is the most important one.
