Controlling width and Height of omxplayerGUI

[santy1016]

Hi All,
I am working on OMXplayerGUI and Kweb. I am able to write new html page, I am trying to invoke the omxplayerGUI on top of custom web page, it is able to render. I am controlled the parameters using the --preset , I am able to change the screenmode, fontheight, hide-controls, here is the screenshot

But when i start thr PI in kiosk mode, all the --preset values and not working, The omxplayerGUI is taking whole screen.
Is there any way to control the width x height of the omxplayerGUI

A help will be appreciated

Thank you

Create a preset with the following options:
screenmode = 'min'
videoheight = x
(x = height of the video in the window).
and all the other options you might need.

Select it on the settings page of kweb to make it the current (default) setting.

Code: Select all

	<form accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="get" action="file:///homepage.html" name="omxwindow"> <input name="cmd" value="formdata omxplayergui --preset=/usr/local/bin/kwebhelper_settings.py av big.mp4 " type="hidden">

I used this code, with my presets defined then also...
I am actually trying to autostart my webpage after pi boots up.
observations
1. The terminal comes and i fire xinit ./myapp ( script contains , kweb to open the webpage, with full screen video)
2.when i do startx, it opens correctly(I have configured the .config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart)

I want to boot to my app, which is not happening, I just want the webpage after boot

The --preset=... option of omxplayerGUI takes just the preset name as an argument without path and without extension ".preset", e. g.
--preset=nogui
.preset is added internally and all preset files must reside in /usr/local/share/kweb.

Check the last chapter of the kweb manual for suggestions to boot into a kiosk application.
