(I made original query that started this thread ...) In order to solve the problem, I had 2 do 3 things: (1) As suggested, un-comment the framebuffer width/height (values in config are just right 4 720p), (2) un-comment the "disable_overscan=1" line, and (3) at the end of config.txt in a section "au...

I just upgraded to the Feb 2015 "NOOBS" build of Raspbian (I was using one from early 2014 until 2 wks ago). The desktop is very different in appearance, but seems 2 work the same--with one critical exception. I learned the trick of setting up /boot/config.txt last year when I had problems using omx...

I eventually discovered that, since the upgrade I mentioned in my original post, OMX was acting on the "-r" option in my play script and re-negotiating with the HDMI display device to send 1080P video. This proves 2B a bit much 4 the 'Pi and OMX has serious motion artifacts and, at some point, freez...

I posted a similar topic last year. At that time, the on-screen features of OMXplayer weren't working, for some reason. Eventually, an upgrade was available that restored them and improved the performance a bit. I upgrade via sudo apt-get update/upgrade (or: update/dist-upgrade) usually about monthl...

I had Anjuta (& some other dev tools) running OK acupla months back--but then, maybe 2 weeks back, I upgraded to a buggy gtk realease (symptom: netsurf--which never had problems B4--starts & runs OK--but emits 6-8 error msgs that look like gtk issue). Now Anjuta starts but abends with a complaint ab...

OK!!! A reboot (and some sleep!) and--YES!!--the OMX works a lot better. Unfortunately, I still have 2 do the dreaded xterm hak 2 maintain control of the player when it's running in my app. The remote I'm using only seems 2 have "visible" codes 4 the keys I don't care about (let's not get into entro...

I tried the upgrade. Had 2 do it 2wice (1ce after 'update'). I run OMX in this app I'm developing--which now doesn't work at all!!! My setup script runs 'iptables' which now bombs because, somehow, the install or update destroyed the 'nat' table (or something). This is really discouraging!!! Comment...

I started fooling with my 'Pi last Fall (2013) and the version of OMXplayer that came with my original distro of Raspian had these terrific 'on-screen' status and volume displays. It had a problem that it displayed the movie frame in the middle of the desktop--with the borders of the desktop still v...

If you installed the package using apt-get (or aptitude/synaptic), then you can remove the package and all its configuration files with sudo apt-get purge packagename Then try the install again. You could also try sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename which will try and reinstall the package...

I screwed up a package installation! I'm not sure if I hit a key too soon, maybe, but I need 2 re-install it. I cannot find in the Debian user guide or on-line how 2 un-install a package so that it can B re-installed. I'd appreciate any helpful comments on this subject--Thanx!!!

I've seen blogs on this forum about methods used to view U-Tube videos using Midori and omxplayer. I would just like to be able to start an xterm/omx video (vis a vis: xterm -fullscreen -fg black -bg black -e omxplayer -o hdmi -r "$file", etc.) using a link or script from Midori. However, in general...
