I've finally got back to working with video on the RPi, and Antoine's player is very useful. I am hoping to add alpha, layers and still images to it, and the ability to seek to the start of the video (at least).
The current code is working, playing back the sample test.h264 file nicely but seems only to recognise the .h264 container ... do you know how to convert .mov files (that play well in omxplayer) to that file format?
Also I am getting an error when I stop a thread ...
OMX_FillThisBuffer(ilclient_get_handle(video_render), eglBuffer)
at line 68 of video.c is failing.

hi,
nice to hear that you try and like it ! concerning the video encoding, you could do that with ffmpeg or avconv but i never try it, so I don't know which parameters work and concerning new features, feel free to add some ! I'm waiting for a project (or at least funding) to add seeking, playback speed control and to improve remote control
best

I haven't managed on ffmpeg yet, but the person making the content is working on OSX and exporting to the blu-ray format gives the right file format.

playback speed is working, seeking I must get working this week! and with luck the ability to add overlays, to mask areas and add image files with text. I'll make a generic pd patch to control 6 Pis, but won't have time for anything except something quite raw to start with.
