Omxplayer with --passthrough option rising 'hangup detect' #33

Closed radames closed 7 years ago

radames commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to use the omxplayer-sync for a multichannel audio installation, with several Raspberry Pis. I've added the the option passthrough in order to have a 5.1 audio output on the HDMI self.omxplayer_options.append("-p")

When I try the sync, the script is rising the "hangup detect" and the audio file is not played or neither synced.

When I try the omxplayer , the pre-compiled one we should user for the omxplayer-sync, with the -p option the audio video is played properly with 5.1 surround.

Is there any way to overtake the hangup detection with the passthrough mode enabled?

Does sync work without providing the "-p" option?

the sync with -p option doesn't work, it outputs a "hangup detect" error

Yes, the sync work perfect without the "-p" option. Your pre-compile omxplayer works with "-p" option providing the surround audio, but only for one not synced RsPi.
