where is omxplayer after I install it?

[ToryGW]

Ok, according to the 'Add / Remove software' menu, I do have omxplayer installed on my Rpi. However, it must not be obvious to find. I have searched in different menus and I do NOT see it in any menu. How do I find it if it's installed?

If you want a omxplayer GUI, it is included with kweb:

Simply type omxplayer at the command line. If it runs it's installed. If you get a command not found error then it's not installed (or not installed correctly)......

Since omxplayer is a command line program and a media filename and other parameters are required along with the omxplayer command, it would be pointless to make a menu item or desktop icon as nothing would appear to happen. Type omxplayer at the command line and see what you get........
A menu item or desktop icon(s) would only be useful if you always wanted to play the same file(s).

To answer your question as written in your title, you can use the find command:

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name omxplayer
