Hello!
I'm working through this project tutorial below which is a modification of an Adafruit project using a pair of smaller video displays to create a pair of animated eyes. The result should be a headless Pi that boots up into this random eyeball animation. In my case, I want to display the eyeball on a WorldEye spherical display as below.

This really isn't my area at all - most of my experimenting with the Pi has been with pre-loaded SD cards. Surprisingly I was able to work through these various linked tutorials to get the Pi up and running, and logging in via SSH to run scripts to install the various software.
During the step when I was installing the Pi Video Looper, the script stopped. It says "package 'omxplayer' has no installation candidate" but the script also said that it may have been obsoleted. But according to this page I should have seen a message saying that all the installs are complete:
https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi ... l-commands
There's supposed to be a lot more happening, and I don't know what to do next. Like I said, this really isn't my area. Is there an updated script I should be using?
Thanks for any help. This is for an audition for a job, so I'm hoping to get this prop going. My mid 80s Amiga skills have only gotten me so far with this project.![:)]( "Smile")
Again, thank you!
