how do I $PATH omxplayer

[Pi Box]

I know this is a super easy question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

I need omxplayer to run no matter where I am in the directory. The problem is, I have no idea where that path is. And I don't know how to add the path environment variable on Raspberry pi.

thank you.

Omxplayer is already accessible from the path just call it by it's name.
If you want the full path of omxplayer then run: which omxplayer

Richard,

Thank you. I guess what im trying to do then is path the video i want to play. I have a program compiled in C# and I am trying to use the omxplayer to play it. when I use the launcher that is supposed to play it nothing happens. This is the code....

Code: Select all

protected void butStart_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 string fileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(g_basePath, "clipcanvas_14348_H264_640x360.mpr");
            g_currentProcess = new Process();
           Console.WriteLine("playing video " +  filename);
           g_currentProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "omxplayer";
           g_currentProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
g_currentProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "-o hdmi " + "\" " +fileName + "\" ";
g_currentProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
g_currentProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
g_currentProcess.OutputDataReceived +=currentProcess_OutputDataReceived;
g_nowPlaying = g_currentProcess.Start();

I tried putting the file path into ~/.bashrc for the actual clip i wanted to play. Does anyone know why this isnt playing? So even without my launcher program stated above. I can't get the omxplayer to play the clip anywhere, when i type

Code: Select all

omxplayer -o hdmi clipcanvas_14348_H264_640x360.mp4

I get the error
File "XXXXXXXX.mp4" not found.
