Omxplayer ends early about omxplayer HOT 5 CLOSED

This branch contains every commit from huceke.

Does it only fail when using a fifo, or will the same file stop early when played as a normal file?

Are you sure your internet download speed is sufficient. If the fifo runs empty, it will probably look like an EOF, and the stream will quit.

I'm positive my download speed is sufficient. Problem is: I can't play the stream as a normal file. omxplayer only works when using the fifo trick.

Is there another method I could try?

Do you have a link to an online file that behaves like this?

Here's another test case for what I believe to be the same issue. I've compiled omxplayer myself from git master, and am using http://db.tt/hDoOG5KT to test playback. On the 2 systems I've tested (both Raspbian minimal installs) the song is played fine, but omxplayer doesn't terminate when the song finishes. In this case there is a discrepancy in the duration reported of the mp3: mediainfo shows it as 2m1s CBR, omxplayer --info shows 00:02:05.98.

Please let me know if you need debug logs.

@popcornmix: It's not too easy to give you a direct URL, as the stream URL's are session based and can only be requested once. I've tested it with a small bash script though instead of running the commands within Node.js and it seems to work now, although I have to test it a couple of times to be sure (run a video with a length exceeding 1 hr)

Then it's probably a node child_process related issue instead of omxplayer related. Thanks for the quick replies though.
