omxplayer key binding through javascript/bash?

[DrakaSAN]

Hi everyone
I m working on a automated TV on a raspberry pi.
The algorithm is quite simple:

A javascript/node.js app get all playlist/command...
But I m forced to start omxplayer through a .sh file:

app.js:

Code: Select all

...
exec('/home/pi/play.sh', [file], function (error, stdout, stderr){...});
...

play.sh:

Code: Select all

if pgrep omxplayer;
then 
    echo "AR"
else
    omxplayer $1 > dev/null
fi

Is there a way to either still have the keyboard sending the key to the omxplayer, or app.js to send command to omxplayer?

you can use a named pipe;

surely you can run and control omxplayer, or any program, via the child_process module of node.js.
