video will not play from control panel #6

Open Vrak opened 6 years ago

Vrak commented 6 years ago

I am not able to start videos from the control panel. I have tried placing a test video file in /media/internal and /media/internal/video.

I am able to play videos using omxplayer-sync over SSH, and I can reset the RPi 1 from the network control panel. I've installed all dependencies and followed the suggestions found in: https://github.com/magdesign/PocketVJ/issues/2

Any idea why I might be unable to start videos via the control panel?

Video must be stored in /media/internal/*

If you run this command via ssh

/var/www/sync/startmaster.py

is the video starting? did you make sudo chmod a+x -R /var/www/sync/

Vrak commented 6 years ago

The video did not start. /var/www/sync/startmaster.py outputs a 4 digit number like 1080, 1058, or 1016 each time I run it.

and if you try to start it with: /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync -mu -o both /media/internal/*

is there any reason why you dont use the preconfigured image which is available as free download?

Vrak commented 6 years ago

Yes, that image is for a 16gb disk. Currently I only have an 8gb SD available for this.

/usr/bin/omxplayer-sync -mu -o both /media/internal/* gives no output over ssh and no change on the projector or screen.

magdesign commented 6 years ago

are you sure you installed the omxplayer-sync script in the right location and made it executable? you should be able to start a video with: /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync /media/internal/*

Vrak commented 6 years ago

omxplayer-sync was in/usr/bin/ but i noticed that omxplayer was still there too, so I removed that and re-installed omxplayer-sync, (carefully following Turing machines instructions), rebooted, then ran /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync -mu -o both /media/internal/* again.

and again, the output to my projector changed from the terminal after boot to a blank blackscreen. It SHOULD be playing the synctest.mp4 file from Turingmachine.
