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.
