Click to stop

[philspitlerSF]

I would love to have the option to stop and start the current video with a single click of the mouse.

I would actually be using it with a touch screen and it is perfect for installations where you don't want extra buttons.

Would this be easy enough to implement?

Thanks

It would actually be a bit tricky to set up since the mouse is not active by default in the terminal. You'd have to set up an overlay over the video player that intercepted the mouse event. It'd be easier with an event linked to a GPIO pin, like the existing buttons are. In either case, once you have the event, you can tell the video player to pause using dbus as described here.
