Code we used:

Make sure you store the movie's in the data directory. And fill in the right ip address

Hardware used: Arduino uno, Distance-sensors, 3 HD Screens, 3 iMacs, Ethernet router, Headphone

****Server:****

import processing.serial.*;
import processing.video.*;
import processing.net.*;

Movie loop, loop1;
Server server;

Serial myPort;  // Create object from Serial class

int y;
String val;     // Data received from the serial port
String in;

void setup() {
  size(1600, 900);

  server = new Server(this, 5204);

  String portName = Serial.list()[3]; //change the 0 to a 1 or 2 etc. to match your port
  myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600); 
  myPort.bufferUntil('\n'); 

  loop = new Movie(this, "1.mov"); //movie from data dir
  loop1 = new Movie(this, "2.mov");  //movie from data dir

  loop1.loop();
  loop.loop();

}

void draw(){
 println(val);

 Client client = server.available();

   if (client != null) {
    server.write(val);
  }


 if (y<50) {

   loop1.play();
    image(loop1, 0, 0);

} else {
  image(loop, 0, 0);

    if (loop1.time() != 0){
     loop1.jump(0);
     loop1.stop();
    }

}

}

void serialEvent( Serial myPort) {
  if ( myPort.available() > 0) 
  {  // If data is available,
    val = myPort.readStringUntil('\n');         // read it and store it in val
  }
