Hi,

Could anyone provide guidance for getting movie2serial.pde to run on the raspberry Pi ?

I've been having the same problem. After much research, I decided I need to post publicly and ask the experts here. Would really like to control WS2811/WS2812B LED's with a standalone device and multiple Teensies, beyond the 4,000-LED limit of a single Teensy 3.1. Got Processing working on a Raspberry Pi 2 using updated instructions here:

movie2serial.pde gives the error message

NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.jna.Native

for this line of code:

Movie myMovie = new Movie(this, "/tmp/Toy_Story.avi"); (with the filename and directory changed to a test file that I downloaded)

Also tried old instructions for previous versions of Processing and Java.

Similar but not identical error message.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be easier to use different embedded hardware such as MinnowBoard or MinnowBoard Max? The specs for the Max say it has an Intel processor and runs the full version of Debian:

The regular MinnowBoard runs Angström Linux which I've never used. If I got something working with a regular computer using Debian or Angström, is that a guarantee that it would work on MinnowBoard or some other embedded system?

I know this isn't a Linux forum, but it's very likely that somebody else here has dealt with the same issue.
