4 hours ago To rule out that something is wrong with the videos, try renaming them like this. Give a problematic video the name of a „good“ one and vice versa. Does that change anything?

List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach code or commands to run): Try to pause a video
I am using GPIO pins to trigger playing video's and I want to be able to pause them aswell so I am using the following configuration: gpio_pin_map = "13":"video_1.mp4","11":"video_2.mp4","37":"video_3.mp4","35":"video_4.mp4","33":"video_5.mp4","31":"video_6.mp4","29":"K_SPACE"
Most of the time, my video start playing without issues, but for some reason video_5 and video_6 seem to be having issues, even though the format of the video's is all identical. I've had nothing happening, or blank screen with audio playing. Also "pressing" pause does not seem to work every time, but I cannot seem to find a specific scenario in which this occurs.
I've looked in the runtime logs so see if there would be an issue in the GPIO not triggering, but the output shows me that the actions (play and pause) are actually being executed in the video_looper main script, so the only thing I can assume is that the communication with the omxplayer is going wrong?
What steps could I take to further debug this issue? I have ran out of options to try and get this to a more stable setup. As when everything works, the setup is perfect, but it's not reliable right now, so I can't really put this in production.
