how to hide omxplayer details.

[shramik]

i am running this command to loop a video. its working fine but at bottom of screen a message is displayed showing "Seek 00.00.00/00:00:03" and how much time elapsed.
is there a way in which i can hide the message and time elapsed?

Code: Select all

    omxc = Popen(['omxplayer', '-o' 'local', '--loop', '--win', '0 0 1600 900', movie1])

You need a modified omxplayer script. Create a copy (e.g. omxplayer_silent) and modify this line:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OMXPLAYER_LIBS${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" $OMXPLAYER_BIN "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

but i dint get your solution. where i can find the omxplayer script, so that i can copy it into omxplayer slient and modify it.

/usr/bin/omxplayer

Code: Select all

cd /usr/bin
sudo cp omxplayer omxplayer_silent
sudo nano omxplayer_silent

Modify the line as explained above and save it.

Now use omxplayer_silent instead of omxplayer in your python script.

thank you sir,
after copying and modifying the script, my python script will be.

Code: Select all

    omxc = Popen(['omxplayer_slient', '-o' 'local', '--loop', '--win', '0 0 1600 900', movie1])

Add '--no-osd' to your Popen call to hide the On-Screen-Display message.

Jehutting is right; I misunderstood your question (I thought you wanted to get rid of terminal messages).
