Keyboard control #38

Closed chuco61 closed 8 years ago

chuco61 commented 8 years ago

Does anyone have a functional keyboard controls working on the omxplayer-sync?

I have my master finally working and am planning on connecting my slaves via a ethernet switch tonight.

Unfortunately keyboard inputs are not forwarded to omxplayer. This could be implemented as a feature. You can control the running player via dbus. omxplayer ships a simple script called dbuscontrol.sh that can be downloaded from the repository: https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/blob/master/dbuscontrol.sh

dBus controls work pretty well, but keep in mind that the pause function via dBus control works only for 4 seconds, then omxplayer-sync tries to resync.

Ok i will look into this, thank you both for the reply. Currently I have another thread open trying to work through a dbus error on Jessie.
