sMenaka commented 2 years ago

can you explain the reason? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

popcornmix commented 2 years ago

The first paragraph of readme:

This is due to: omxplayer uses openvg for OSD and subtitles which isn't supported on Pi4. omxplayer uses openmax which has been deprecated for a long time and isn't supported with 64-bit kernels. omxplayer does not support software decode omxplayer does not support advanced subtitles omxplayer does not support playback from ISO files. omxplayer does not integrate with the X desktop

We don't even ship the openmax libraries which omxplayer uses on bullyseye.

We recommend moving to VLC, which is actively updated and maintained. Can you try using that for your use case?
