Hi,

when running service omxd start I'm getting:

Failed to start omxd.service: Unit omxd.service not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Kim

Running this on PI 3 B+

When running omxd a ~/1.mp4 I'm getting:

Can't open omxctl or /var/run/omxctl

I did install like this:

 git clone https://github.com/subogero/omxd.git
 cd omxd
 make
 sudo make install

Here is the output:

pi@raspberrypi:~/tmp/omxd $ sudo make install
./preinst

I had this problem: running make start, then sudo make install was necessary.

I also ran a "make start" after running "make install" and it created the correct startup files and worked fine on a reboot.
