omxplayer-sync -muv synctest.mp4 fails #103

Closed ooftv closed 4 years ago

I was playing around with this yesterday on raspian-lite and everything was working, but today I created a new SD card for the same pi with raspian-lite and can't get anything to play.

Using your sample file:

omxplayer-sync -muv synctest.mp4

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/omxplayer-sync", line 394, in OMXPlayerSync().run() File "/usr/bin/omxplayer-sync", line 120, in init self.sock = self.init_socket() File "/usr/bin/omxplayer-sync", line 343, in init_socket sock.bind(('0.0.0.0', PORT)) OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

Any ideas? Not sure what I did differently this time.

Turns out it was related to Python.

ps -fA | grep python

look for the pid of the process run by omxplayer-sync root 395 1 0 May23 ? 00:00:00 python3 /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync for me it was 395

kill -9 395
