Omxplayer flickering on 2 monitor if no internet connetcion? #748

When playing omxplayer on double monitor with raspberry pi 4 2gbram, sometimes I was watching a flickering of the 2 monitor without be able to understand why. After many thinkings then from today it looks that I am able to recreate the issue:

nohup sudo /usr/bin/omxplayer --display 7 --layer 1 --orientation 0 --loop --no-osd /home/pi/Videos/vdo_2.mp4 &

It looks like you are running more than two copies of omxplayer when this flickers. How are you launching omxplayer? Can you run ps aux |grep omx (e.g. from ssh) when the monitors are flickering.

Yes you are right are mutiple omxplayer instances contemporarily and it is a bug of my script and I go to patch it, thanks.
