Sometimes on changing to the next playlist item via N or n both videos try to display at the same time #57

I am running omxd on rpi 3 Linux raspberrypi 4.1.19-v7+, omxplayer version f544084

When i have a channel playing, and either run omxd n from command line, or exec same command from irexec, the videos will play at the same time, sometimes overlapping on itself, and fading/phasing between both channels. If i change the channel a couple of more times, it sometimes goes away.

Let me know if you need more information.

omxplayer 3.7-xxx seems to be broken and sometimes ignores q on the standard input. This is how the newest omxd release stops playback. Try to install the older 3.6-xxx version of omxplayer. They are all available in my deb package repo.

What is irexec? Please note that omxd assumes complete and exclusive control of all omxplayer instances. If you start/influence running/new ones in other ways (DBus, IR, gamma ray bursts in distant galaxies), it's your fault. omxd does not know about these.

In the meantime I'm working on branch wd towards a new release withy much more robust omxplayer process management. A new omxd release might be available in a few day's time.

As an alternative to infrared, you might want to try my other project https://github.com/subogero/remotepi which is a single page webapp controlling omxd. It can browse the RPi's folders, play internet radios and YouTube. Any device on the same LAN as your RPi can use it.

I'm using LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Controller) too. There is no difference in running commands via irexec or the command line terminal.

The problem of playing both videos at the same time is a confirmed problem/bug of omxplayer, which has been discussed in both omxplayer and omxd issues.

Thanks. I switched to using an older version and it is working fine.
