OMX player not found in installation #205

When trying to install, I get this error.

Package omxplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'omxplayer' has no installation candidate

I'm installing on Pi OS Lite (legacy) as suggested.

Hi.

The last working image is this one: https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf/images/raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf-2022-01-28/2022-01-28-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip

OMX Player has been removed due to it having issues with the KMS driver - see https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=333374

I appreciate it. I saw a comment in one of the docs that said it would work to install the legacy pi os lite via Raspberry Pi Imager, but when I did that, then ran sudo apt-get update, I got the error. I did not use the linked IMG file and that may fix the issue I had. Closing this, thanks again.
