 You can build a miniature fireplace that plays holiday-themed video clips using an Adafruit Qualia ESP32S3 and a rectangular bar display. This festive project houses the Qualia ESP32S3 dev board and a 3.2-inch rectangular bar display in a 3D-printed fireplace. It uses the ESP32's optimized JPEG decoding capabilities to play motion JPEG videos stored on a microSD card. With built-in cap touch, you can tap on the display to cycle through different videos. Buttons on the backside of the case gives you access to the Qualia's built-in switches. The microSD card breakout is accessible on the backside of the case and the fireplace mantel is swappable, making this a modular and closure design. You can double-click the reset button to launch the tiny UF2 bootloader and drag over a ready-to-go UF2 file or compile and customize the Arduino code yourself. The microSD card is formatted using the standard FAT32 file system. Just create a new video's directory and drag and drop your videos. The Convert IO website works great to convert videos to the MJPEG video format. Higher quality will make for larger files, but they look better on the display. You can get up to 10 frames per second. JPEGs will look best with live-action or intricate images, not as good for cel animations. Wide-screen videos work best when resizing and rotating to portrait. You can tweak the settings here for the best playback performance. The enclosure parts can be 3D-printed using PLA filament without any support material. You can get the parts to build this project links are in the Adafruit Learn Guide. An 8-pin cable makes it easy to connect the microSD card breakout to the Qualia ESP32S3. The microSD card breakout is secured to the enclosure's back cover using machine screws. Another rectangular bar display fits inside the case and stays in place with the help of a PCB mounting plate. With the Qualia placed on top, the bar display's ribbon cable fits perfectly into the 40-pin connector. The Qualia is secured to the mount using additional machine screws. The cover snap fits onto the case, making a nice and neat little package. We hope this inspires you to make your own mini video player with Adafruit's Qualia ESP32S3 and bar displays.
