+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,

+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Pi Player Lite
+
+# Player setup
+
+## On your desktop system
+
+ - Download [Raspberry Pi OS Lite](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf/images/raspios_lite_armhf-2021-01-12/2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip) ([Torrent](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf/images/raspios_lite_armhf-2021-01-12/2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip.torrent)). SHA256: `d49d6fab1b8e533f7efc40416e98ec16019b9c034bc89c59b83d0921c2aefeef`
+ - Flash the disk image to a SD card large enough to fit the OS (~2GiB) and your media files.
+ - Enlarge the root partition (ext4) to ~2GiB
+ - Create a *third* partition on the SD card:
+  - File system: FAT32 (files < 4GiB) or ExFAT (large files)
+  - Label: `MEDIA`
+ - Modify files on the `boot` partition:
+   - Remove `init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh` from `cmdline.txt`
+   - (Optional) Enable `ssh` by creating an empty file called `ssh`
+
+## On the Raspberry Pi
+ 
+With the Raspberry Pi connected to the internet:
+ 
+ - Execute the install script:
+ ```
+ wget https://github.com/IMAGINARY/pi-player-lite/releases/download/v1.0.0/install.sh
+ chmod +x install.sh
+ sudo ./install.sh
+ ```
+ - Activate overlay file system:
+ ```
+ sudo raspi-config
+ ```
+ Select `Performance Options` → `Overlay File System` and answer the questions with `Yes`.
+ - Reboot
+
+## Configuration
+The player supports basic configuration by adding the file `/MEDIA/config.txt`.
+Each line of the file holds one configuration option and its value separated by `=`.
+Supported options include:  
+```
+randomize={0,1}
+transform={90,180,270,hflip,vflip,transpose,antitranspose}
+wait=<seconds>
+```
+The `wait` option can be used to delay the start of the media player by the given number of
+seconds which is helpful if you need to log into the machine via a local terminal since the login and command prompt would otherwise be overlaid by the media player.
+
+### Screen rotation
+It is recommended to enable rotation by adding either
+```
+transform=90
+```
+or
+```
+transform=270
+```
+to `/MEDIA/config.txt`. This will enable hardware accelerated rotation via VLC,
+leaving OS-level screen rotation untouched.
+
+Raspberry Pi also supports the following options in `/boot/config.txt`:
+```
+lcd_rotate=1
+display_lcd_rotate=1
+display_hdmi_rotate=1
+```
+However, our tests led to mixed results. In some cases, the rotation did not work at all.
+In other cases, the rotation has been applied, but the video playback suffered
+from stuttering, dropouts and especially video tearing.
+
+Therefore, you should prefer the method described above.
+
+### Miscellaneous
+- If you power the display and the Raspberry Pi from the same power source, you might need to add `bootcode_delay=<seconds>` to `/boot/config.txt` in order to delay access of the display until it is fully powered on.
+
+## Media files
+ - Add your media files to the `MEDIA` of the SD card
+ - By default, all media files are played in a loop.
+ - The playlist file `autoplay.m3u` can be added to restrict to a subset of the media files or enforce a specific order.
+ - Encode your videos in h.264.
+ - The container format does not matter much. VLC supports `.mp4`, `.mkv`, `.mov` and many others.
+
+## Remote control
+The player exposed the [VLC telnet interface](https://wiki.videolan.org/Talk:Console/) on port 4212. This can be used for controlling the player remotely, e.g. for triggering actions based through hardware buttons.
+
+Netcat (`nc`) makes it easy to utilise this interface.
+
+Interactive:
+```
+(echo "pi-player-lite" && cat) | nc [host] 4212
+```
+
+Send single command:
+```
+(echo -e "pi-player-lite\n[cmd]") | nc [host] 4212 -w0
+```
+Most important commands:
+```
+add XYZ  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add XYZ to playlist
+enqueue XYZ  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . queue XYZ to playlist
+playlist . . . . . . . . . . . . .  show items currently in playlist
+play . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . play stream

+next . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  next playlist item
+prev . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  previous playlist item
+goto [X], gotoitem [X] . . . . . . . . . . . . .  goto item at index
+pause  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  toggle pause
+volume [X] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  set/get audio volume
+volup [X]  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  raise audio volume X steps
+voldown [X]  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  lower audio volume X steps
+help, ? [pattern]  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  a help message
+longhelp [pattern] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . a longer help message
+logout . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  exit (if in a socket connection)
+```
+
+## Building the installer script
+
+You need `make` and [`makeself`](https://makeself.io/). Once installed, run
+```
+make
+```
