Screen Flicker between videos #52

Closed OMID-313 closed 8 years ago

OMID-313 commented 8 years ago

There is a white flicker between the videos. When a video finishes and the next video starts (automatically), a flicker occurs on the screen.

Interesting point is that this flicker happens only when the videos switch automatically. When I run commands like omxd n , omxd N , omxd g 5 , etc , this flicker does not happen.

It seems that the flicker occurs only after short videos.

OMID-313 commented 8 years ago

Actually, it is difficult to say if the flicker is relevant to video duration. The following is the list of video order and duration:

  1. 75 s
  2. 40 s -> flicker at the end
  3. 45 s -> flicker at the end
  4. 16 s
  5. 10 s -> Sometime flicker at the end!! Sometimes not :D
  6. 10 s -> flicker at the end
  7. 14 s
  8. 20 s -> flicker at the end

This is an omxplayer problem. I can't fix it.

OMID-313 commented 8 years ago

You're right @subogero . It seems they have solved the problem here: https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/issues/449#issuecomment-217900054

Would you please update omxd based on the latest omxplayer release? https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer

Thanks for your time and help.

Yet another misunderstanding. omxd does not determine which omxplayer version is used. If you happen to install the latter from my package repo, you get the omxplayer_0.3.6~git20160102~f544084_armhf.deb version, after that I've stopped updating it from the build machine of http://omxplayer.sconde.net, because the newer versions were broken.

If you can confirm that the newest one is working, I can reinstate the updates. But I do not build omxplayer personally.

Thanks @subogero for your comment. How can I confirm whether the newest one is working or is broken !? Do I have to uninstall omxd and install omxplayer with the following commands?

sudo apt-get remove omxd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install omxplayer

??

Ask popcornmix the omxplayer maintainer.
