I have built a video wall out of raspberry pis and I am trying to create a menu in the command line for the master pi to select a video to play. Whats the easiest way to do that?

interesting, have you looked at menus using regular bash scripts? btw how many pi's did you hook up for the pi-wall?– feverDreamDec 20, 2013 at 18:15

9 pis as far as screens go, plus one for the master. Bash Scripts would be nice to use, but I havent really used much bash until starting this project, so I'm not sure how to do that.– RedDec 20, 2013 at 19:26

Nice, what player are you using? Can you update the update the question with the command you are using?– feverDreamDec 21, 2013 at 5:22

How did you split the video out between different pis?– Thorbjørn Ravn AndersenJan 22, 2014 at 19:33

Another idea is to write the command line menu entirely by yourself. For example, if you are familiar with C/C++ you can use the system command and issue a "clear" in order to clear the screen in the output and present/refresh the new state of your menu. If you want to create something simple it is not a bad idea because you don't have to read anything about ncurses, etc.
