Omxplayer won't respond to keyboard interrupt

[vanDemonian]

I have omxplayer-sync working well on Raspbian Jessie 2016-09-23. when I run "omxplayer-sync -mu /path/to/Video/vid.mp4" the file plays back perfectly however I cannot use the keyboard to interrupt the playback.

Is there a way to overcome this limitation, as I am building a "kiosk" player for a gallery install and need this functionality at times?

Also many thanks for working on this project is greatly appreciated.

Check to code on line 161: https://github.com/turingmachine/omxplayer-sync/blob/master/omxplayer-sync#L161

key input is disabled.

The --no-keys options is there to prevent a certain bug in omxplayer, which is probably fixed by now. Even if you wouldn't pass this option, omxplayer-sync would still need to capture keyboard keypresses and forward them to omxplayer, preferably using the dbus interface. But this feature is not implemented yet. So to answer your question: it possible, but needs to be implemented. Pull requests are welcome!

Thanks for the responses. The main reason I would like keyboard interrupt is for debugging. I've been getting around this by shutting down and mounting the sd card on another pi, and getting access to dhcpcd.conf, rc.local etc via that method.

I'll open a pull request but its not urgent : ) besides its almost xmas - have a good one!
