omxplayer to output RTMP stream to HDMI in nginx

When using Nginx as an RTMP streaming bridge to HDMI, omxplayer used to enable this using an Nginx config like the following


rtmp {
  server {
    listen 1935;

    application live {
      # Enable livestreaming
      live on;

      # Disable recording
      record off;

      # Allow only this machine to play back the stream
      allow play 127.0.0.1;
      deny play all;

      # Start omxplayer and play the stream out over HDMI
      exec omxplayer -o hdmi rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/$name;
    }
  }
}

THe key line relevant for this issue is exec omxplayer -o hdmi rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/$name;

Is there any way to achieve the same using VLC?
