What about using vlc player instead of omxplayer? #74

The future is vlc since omxplayer won't be in future releases of Raspbian (IIRC), but I haven't done any of the work necessary to port this over to vlc command line.

Just curious, do you have any plans on porting to VLC?

I have a 21 camera setup and omxplayer refuses to work beyond 16 cameras. Up to 16 works absolutely fine. Starting the 17th feed, it keeps throwing Failed to connect to TV service: -1.

Starting omxplayer for cam17
tvservice-client: Failed to connect to TV service: -1
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 0
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 1
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 2
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 3
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 4
Waiting for cam17 omxplayer startup 5
cam17 failed playback

I'm running Debian Buster (10.4) on a Raspberry Pi 3B with 512mb allocated towards GPU RAM. Even with the 16 feeds running, my main memory usage is at 25% which means it's not a memory issue.

I'm wondering if this is a limitation with omxplayer.

Yes, this is covered elsewhere. This appears to be an omxplayer issue.

So, any chance you might consider porting displaycameras to vlc?

This is exactly what Rpisurv 3 is doing, Replaced omxplayer with vlc player.
