OMXPlayer

OMXPlayer is a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry Pi. It was developed as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation and is quite handy to use standalone.

Downloading OMXPlayer

git clone git://github.com/huceke/omxplayer.git

Compiling OMXPlayer

GCC version 4.7 is required.

Cross Compiling

You need the content of your sdcard somewhere mounted or copied. There might be development headers to install on the running Pi system for the crosscompiling.

Edit Makefile.include and change the settings according your locations.

make ffmpeg
make
make dist

Installing OMXPlayer

Copy over omxplayer-dist/* to the Pi /. You may want to specify a valid font path inside the omxplayer shell script.

Compiling on the Pi

You can also compile it on the PI the native way ;) Run this script (which will install packages and update firmware) ./prepare-native-raspbian.sh and build with make ffmpeg make

Key Config Syntax

A key config file is a series of rules of the form [action]:[key]. Multiple keys can be bound to the same action, and comments are supported by adding a # in front of the line. The list of valid [action]s roughly corresponds to the list of default key bindings above and are:

DECREASE_SPEED
INCREASE_SPEED
REWIND
FAST_FORWARD
SHOW_INFO
PREVIOUS_AUDIO
NEXT_AUDIO
PREVIOUS_CHAPTER
NEXT_CHAPTER
PREVIOUS_SUBTITLE
NEXT_SUBTITLE
TOGGLE_SUBTITLE
DECREASE_SUBTITLE_DELAY
INCREASE_SUBTITLE_DELAY
EXIT
PAUSE
DECREASE_VOLUME
INCREASE_VOLUME
SEEK_BACK_SMALL
SEEK_FORWARD_SMALL
SEEK_BACK_LARGE
SEEK_FORWARD_LARGE
STEP

Valid [key]s include all alpha-numeric characters and most symbols, as well as: left right up down esc hex [keycode]

For example:

EXIT:esc
PAUSE:p
#Note that this next line has a space after the :
PAUSE: 
REWIND:left
SEEK_FORWARD_SMALL:hex 0x4f43
EXIT:q
