PaperPi plug-in?

[ZubaZ21]

Are you familiar with the PaperPi project? (https://github.com/txoof/PaperPi)

I have one Pi running that and another running the VSMP+ (both of which I love) and don't have the knowledge to incorporate the one into the other.

If you are familiar with the PaperPi project, have you ever thought about plugging in?

I am familiar with that project but haven't developed anything directly for it before. There was a thread a while back about integrating the SlowMovie project with PaperPi (very similar type of movie frame display). I did some digging on the PaperPi repo and it doesn't look like that went anywhere.

In terms of creating a plugin the key functions are 64-94 of vsmp.py. This is where generating the frame from a video and finding a valid video file happens. A lot of the other code in this project could be stripped down and simplified since PaperPi handles the timer and EPD communications on it's own.

I'm going to leave this open for now as it's a good idea for those running PaperPi.
