# CaseVision
CaseVision transforms your computer case display into a dynamic video panel. Originally designed for the Jonsbo D41 case using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, this project turns the case's built-in display into a controllable media screen.
## Features
- 🎥 Seamless video playback with hardware acceleration
- 🌐 Web-based control interface
- 📁 Local media file management (upload, delete, select)
- 🔗 URL-based media playback support
- ⚙️ Customizable VLC command-line parameters
- 🔄 Automatic rotation support (preconfigured for Jonsbo D41)
- 🔧 Systemd service integration for reliable operation
## Hardware Requirements
- (Jonsbo D41 Case)
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (recommended, tested)
## Software Requirements
- Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32bit (recommended)
- Python 3.7+
- VLC media player
- Web browser for control interface
## Quick Installation
1. Run the installation script:
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rennerdo30/casevision/refs/heads/master/install.sh | bash
```
The script will automatically:
- Install required packages
- Configure system settings
- Set up services
- Configure display rotation
- Create required directories
- Start the web interface
## Manual Installation
If you prefer to install manually, follow these steps:
1. Install required packages:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-base python3-flask python3-pip git
```
2. Create application directories:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /opt/casevision/{templates,videos}
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/casevision
```
3. Copy application files:
```bash
cp app.py /opt/casevision/
cp templates/index.html /opt/casevision/templates/
```
4. Configure system services:
```bash
sudo cp systemd/casevision-control.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo cp systemd/casevision-playback.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable casevision-control casevision-playback
sudo systemctl start casevision-control casevision-playback
```
## Usage
1. Access the web interface at `http://[raspberry-pi-ip]:8080`
2. Through the interface you can:
- Upload new media files
- Select and play existing media
- Play media from URLs
- Delete media files
- Modify VLC command-line parameters
3. Media files are stored in `/opt/casevision/videos`
## Configuration
### Display Settings
The display is preconfigured for the Jonsbo D41 case (270-degree rotation). If needed, you can modify the rotation in `/boot/config.txt`:
```
display_rotate=3 # 3 = 270 degrees
```
### VLC Settings
Default VLC settings are optimized for the case display:
- Framebuffer output for direct rendering
- Hardware acceleration enabled
- Automatic video rotation
- Loop playback enabled
## Troubleshooting
1. If the web interface is not accessible:
- Check if the service is running: `sudo systemctl status casevision-control`
- Verify the firewall allows port 8080
2. If videos don't play:
- Check service status: `sudo systemctl status casevision-playback`
- Verify file permissions in `/opt/casevision/videos`
- Check system logs: `journalctl -u casevision-playback`
3. Display issues:
- Verify HDMI connection
- Check rotation settings in `/boot/config.txt`
- Ensure display resolution is set correctly
