New raspberry has 2 hdmi connectors.
Is it possible to play 2 different videos at the same time (one per screen) with a single raspberry ?
Thanks
Yes, you can with omxplayer in terminal.
# run the first video in the background with key inputs disabled
omxplayer --no-keys --display=2 --loop /home/pi/first.mp4 &
# run the second video normally
omxplayer --display=7 --loop /home/pi/second.mp4
Yes it is two different HDMI ports.
