Thank you for the idea !
This has nothing to do with this thread, but i was actually looking for a way of controlling VLC, and this is really all the inspiration I needed.

Cheers,

Pierre.

Hi,

it works but still with the audio crack when launching and quitting omxplayer
but this is an omxplayer's issue...

Hi list

Looking for a way to control video playback on the Raspberry Pi outside Gem's realm, i stumbled across omxplayer and this topic.

So based on it i've made a very crude [shell]-based omxplayer controller in Pd, see attached. As omxplayer can be controlled via keystrokes, you can expand this patch's possibilities very easily. For now, you can choose a file, play it, pause and resume, restart the video, quit omxplayer, increase and decrease volume.

I encounter an annoying bug when restarting a video : one can briefly see what's behind the window, be it a console or lxde's desktop. Happily, omxplayer has also a counter-bug thats prevents the desktop to refresh itself (it stays black : you have to move the mouse all over the screen to refresh). So to keep the restart prettier, you have to launch the desktop manager.
