If you started it from the command line ctrl-c (i.e. hold down ctrl and press c).
If you started it in the background. try killall omxplayer

No, use killall "omxplayer.bin". Otherwise the normal screen may not be restored.

I programmed omxplayer to play a video as soon as rasberry PI boots up and loop the video but now i can't exit the screen.
I've tried ctrl c, Q and cant bring up terminal because its overriding my key strokes.
Please could someone advise on any other possible ways I could stop omxplayer.
