omxplayer will throw error if system GUI is disabled.

omxplayer test.mp3 -o local --blank --no-osd

omxplayer.bin: omxplayer.cpp:473: void blank_background(uint32_t): Assertion `display' failed.
/usr/bin/omxplayer: line 67: 3170 Aborted > LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OMXPLAYER_LIBS${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" $OMXPLAYER_BIN "$@"

Perhaps we should remove "--blank" from https://github.com/Ap0c/node-omxplayer/blob/master/index.js#L38 ?

If I set the orientation of my screen to "right" (90º) in my raspberry, the video plays as it is not rotated. Any clue?

Is there any way to run this player not on my raspberry but on my mac?
I would like to change something to the code and for testing purposes this would be ideal.

For now, if I run a javascript file, which uses the node-omxplayer it says I don't have the underlying OMX Player installed – which I actually don't. But I cannot figure out how to do that. Is it even possible to run it on a mac?

I need a function to change the sound position to a specific location (forward and backward) based on the value of a clock, making the sound synchronized with a clock. Should it be possible to create a function to perform that function, and a specific method to read out the duration of a media file as an integer in ms?

Hi,
Sorry I am not a programmer but a user. I have a big video installation with 30 raspberry remoted by OSC (with this : https://github.com/marsvaardig/osc-node ) It would be perfect if possible to remote the positon like with a for exemple "/win 0 0 960 540 /home/pi/videos... etc"

So how is it possible to add the --win command in theses two node? If possible ? And who could make it?

Thanks a lot
merci

Hi,

I'm playing audio only and unfortunately, the current screen which shows important information is hidden due to a black fullscreen. The reason for this is the paramter --blank in line 38:

let args = [source, '-o', output, '--blank', osd ? '' : '--no-osd'];

Would it be possible to make this paramter configurable from outside?

I've got a syntax error: Unexpected strict mode reserved word at line 5 in node-omxplayer/index.js.
Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi,

I've try to use your library with this piece of code:

var Omx = require('node-omxplayer');

var player = Omx('~/song.mp4');
player.on('close', function() {
  console.log('player closed!!!!');
});
player.on('error', function() {
  console.log('error happened!');
});

but the issue is it's immediately printing:
player closed!!!!
the player doesn't even open.

As a side note when I open omxplayer with exec it works well:

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
exec('omxplayer ~/song.mp4');

but with spawn (which your library uses) it again, immediately closing

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
var args = [ '~/song.mp4' ];
spawn('omxplayer', args);

I'm running this on latest raspbian, with nodejs v6.11.2

Have any suggestions how to solve it?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the package but it plays the video muted as default. volUp doesn't work for me. How can I help you to solve this? Thanks

Hello,
I'm facing an issue with node-omxplayer, I'm playing audio for 1 min then after that I'm closing the player and after 1 min again playing another audio but this time it plays only for 1sec and closes immediately.
please help me with this.

Thank you

Maybe you should delete the args for omxplayer ... log.

I listen to the close event to do something after a video is finished playing.

After first time adding a newSource and when the video is done the close event is called once (this is good).
But when I play a second video by adding newSource and when the video is done the close event is called twice.
And after a third video the close event is called three times.

Is there a reason this happens?
