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.

All credits go to popcornmix/huceke for creating omxplayer. See the original project here: https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/

This project uses modified Makefiles that compiles the player on the Pi!

My main goals were to:

- Provide console input with --console argument (e.g. for SSH)
- Implement a simple interface to control the player (RemoteBridge)

This extension can connect to a given TCP port on localhost and respond to simple commands like query playpack position, pause, seek, set volume, etc. There is a Python project I wrote which is able to create this TCP port and control the player with commands received from an Android client.

See the Python project here:

See the Android client project here:

Should be installed like the original project.
