script for omxplayer with subtitles

[piepolitb]

hello guys,
I'm a new happy owner of a pi b+ with raspbian installed. Also I'm quite a newbie to the raspberry pi world...

first of all, here is the situation: I have tons of movies over streamed over my wifi, collected in organized folders containing the following files with the following formatted names:
1. file-name.mp4 - the video file
2. file-name_ITA.srt - italian subtitle (if any)
3. file-name_ENG.srt - english subtitles (if any)
I'm able to have everything working fine with omxplayer

Code: Select all

omxplayer -o hdmi -r file-name.mp4 --subtitles file-name_XXX.srt

BUT because I'm little lazy and I don't want to play the video by terminal line command, I would like to write down a little script to open the video file on double click to put in /usr/local/bin and then in the "open with" property. I would like this script to:
1. play the double-clicked file with omxplayer
2. check for existing subtitles in the folder
3. ask me which subtitles I want to be set up
4.enjoy the movie

any suggestions?
thanks
Giuseppe

nobody?

Why not install a gui like emulationstation and have a section that plays video files.
But you will have to do your script yourself Mr. Lazy. OR try vlc player http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 99#p629999
Or download scamp from the store. http://store.raspberrypi.com/projects/scamp
