[ML-General] Working with another local, non-profit

[Stephan Henning]

Recently did something very similar for a conference using a script in the
raspi's startup folder to load a video into omxplayer and run it on a loop.
Works well, but you can't interrupt it once it starts, the pi doesn't
respond to commands once the video starts looping.

Found this adafruit instructional post that might be useful:
