omxplayer play controls / input

[djazz]

Try out omxradio, a web interface for playing webradio, youtube clips and local files on the pi, all controlled from a web interface on mobile/laptop. Written in nodejs and uses some HTML5 features to sync play queue and Now Playing across clients.

I've managed to create PHP WEB GUI for omxplayer. But I need some help to continue. No matter PHP, Python or javascript.

Is it possible to display some text without X using overlay or something similar to add info on the screen?
Is it possible get position or timecode from omxplayer, maybe we can mod it to support some output and draw some text?

Omxradio is a great app, thanks for that. It would be interesting to add a volume up/down on it.

Hi all,

Is it possible to play a video using a part of the screen using omxplayer?
Let's say I have a 1920x1080 screen and I want to play a video from the left top corner using on 800x600 window or maybe a centered window.

Fabio.

There is a new option in the code on github, not sure it has made its way into the apt_get upgrade repository yet.

--win \"x1 y1 x2 y2\" Set position of video window\n");

there is a new option to play video with omxplayer in a moveable and resizable window on your desktop:

Have fun!

Hi all,

I'm very glad to know that this new feature is already implemented. But I'm not a qualified user so I can get the sources from Github and compile them. Does anyone have a compiled version including this feature ? Or maybe, point me somewhere I can find it already compiled.
Any help would be very, very appreciated.

BR,
Fabio.

Kinda tricky procedure for me, but I was able to fix the pi from its several issue...

I'm trying to write a simple bash script for controlling omxplayer from a command line. I'm a rubbish programmer, particularly with bash. This is what I've got so far:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
if [ ! -e /tmp/omxplayer.pipe ]
then
        mkfifo /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
fi
#
( /usr/bin/omxplayer -n -o hdmi $1 < /tmp/omxplayer.pipe & )
#
echo -n . /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
clear
while true
do
echo p for play/pause
echo q for quit
echo b for back 30
echo B for back 600
echo f for forward 30
echo F for forward 600
echo z for info
echo 1 for slower
echo 2 for faster
echo j for previous audio track
echo k for next audio track
echo + for volume up
echo - for volume down
echo i for previous chapter
echo o for next chapter
echo n for previous subtitle track
echo m for next subtitle track
echo s for toggle subtitles
read inp
clear
case $inp in
        p|z|1|2|j|k|+|-|i|o|n|m|s)
                echo -n $inp > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                ;;
        q)      echo "Quiting"
                echo -n q > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                rm /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                break
                ;;
        b)      echo -n $'\x1b\x5b\x44' > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                ;;
        B)      echo -n $'\x1b\x5b\x41' > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                ;;
        f)      echo -n $'\x1b\x5b\x43' > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                ;;
        F)      echo -n $'\x1b\x5b\x42' > /tmp/omxplayer.pipe
                ;;
        *)      echo "Please select from above only"
                ;;
esac
done

But it doesn't really work as expected.

I'd welcome suggestions , please!

Did you ever get this working? i am interested in a bash script as well

Here's what I hacked together. It's real basic but it works. Just select one or more media files from nautilus and right click to play. A terminal window opens and shows whats happening, allows for input etc.

I may add flatfile playlists and shufle. Working on a just sslightly nicer python wrapper now. Still text mode, but a little nicer.

I've been looking into this on and off for a while now. I have a media player I wrote myself, and I use omxplayer for the player.

It always bugged me that I needed to either have a keyboard plugged in, or I couldn't control the pi, even with the pipe idea above.

I decided to solve this today and came up with a solution using xbindkeys

It's easy as anything once I worked it out, and now I just have my mouse by my TV not a whole keyboard

I start omxplayer with a script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -

\rm /tmp/command_pipe
mkfifo /tmp/command_pipe
xbindkeys
omxplayer -o hdmi $* < /tmp/command_pipe &
PID=$!
echo . > /tmp/command_pipe
wait $PID
\rm /tmp/command_pipe
killall -9 xbindkeys

This starts up the fifo, and xbindkeys

Inside the ~/.xbindkeysrc file I have

Code: Select all

"echo -n p > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:1

"echo -n q > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:3

"echo -n ^[[A > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:4

"echo -n ^[[B > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:5

"echo -n ^[[D > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:6

"echo -n ^[[C > /tmp/command_pipe"
  b:7

This allows me to pause, stop, and skip forwards and backwards 10 seconds/10 minutes. Obviously you can simulate any command you like this way.

As a note: The ^[ shown above is a representation of the escape key, so ^[[C represents the three keys ESC then [ then C which simulates the right arrow key

How you enter them is up to you in whatever text editor you use.


Hope this helps!
