What were you doing?

I installed omxplayer and run: "omxplayer --win "0 0 799 479" /home/pi/video.mp4" the commands shows image However, there is no video displaying on the screen.

Version of FullPageOS?

0.8.1

guysoft commented 6 years ago

I am not sure I can support this, this is a raspbian issue. Its a duplicate of https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/issues/167 . so same answer

The whole point of FullPageOS is to sue the browser. You are welcome to build a CustomPiOS distro which runs videos,

We would like to play a video when raspberry pi is booting and then going to chrome. Actually, FullPageOS 0.6 can allow me to implement it, but not 0.8.1. Do I need to downgrade to use 0.6 for that?

  1. Can you provide how you implemented it in 0.6? I can't support code I can't see, and this is an open source project.
  2. Who is "we"?
jyy1082 commented 6 years ago

In the 0.6, I added omxplayer --win "0 0 799 479" /home/pi/logo.mp4 in /etc/rc.local. The video can be played and displayed when booting. However, I did same in 0.8.1. It does not work. There is no video display image

0.6 is based on raspbian Jessie. While 0.8.1 is based on raspbian stretch. The boot process from Jessie has changed from sysV to systemd and therefor the console looks different. You will need to make your script support systemd. See internet - for example: https://askubuntu.com/questions/919054/how-do-i-run-a-single-command-at-startup-using-systemd . The console might have also changed in ways I don't know.
