Version 1.9 doesn't handle clearing playlist correctly.

[joelhaasnoot]

I have version 1.9 installed from the dep repo and am running into an issue changing the playlist. To change the playlist I use the "X" command to clear and then add new files. This results in the currently playing video and the new video both being played at the same time (with a lovely flashing effect). The logfile also has some strange loglines (see after "main: X")

Playing two video's at once crashes the Raspberry Pi GPU unfortunately.

Oops: accidentally was running two instances of omxd: one was listening to commands, the other was running the saved playlist.

Thank goodness. I thought all the work refactoring the subprocess control was in vain. Please refrain from scaring me stiff in the future. :-)

Do you think it would make sense for omxd to check for an already running instance of the daemon and exit?

[joelhaasnoot]

very delayed comment, yes that would make sense in daemon mode.
