Omxplayer-sync not playing files that omxplayer will play. #53

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

Hi guys,

am having an issue where omxplayer-sync fails to load and play a movie despite that movie playing in omxplayer via terminal command.

omxplayer-sync -mu /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4

WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test with omxplayer -s OPTIONS

omxplayer --loop /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4

Video codec omx-h264 width 1920 height 1080 profile 77 fps 25.000000 Audio codec aac channels 2 samplerate 44100 bitspersample 16 Subtitle count: 0, state: off, index: 1, delay: 0 V:PortSettingsChanged: 1920x1080@25.00 interlace:0 deinterlace:0 anaglyph:0 par:1.00 display:0 layer:0 alpha:255 aspectMode:0 Stopped at: 00:00:01 have a nice day ;)

are there any limits/parameters that I need to be aware of here? i.e. is there a data rate or file size limit ?

cheers

Try do change the following code

    def Position(self):
        try:
            return self.properties.Get(
                'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
                'Position')
        except Exception as e:
            return False

to

    def Position(self):
        try:
            return self.properties.Get(
                'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
                'Position')
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            return False

What's the error if you run it again with this patch?

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

I get strange behaviour. I added print(e), and the first time I ran "omxplayer-sync -mu /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4" the video appeared on screen momentarily (for less than one second) then exited with the same "WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test with omxplayer -s OPTIONS".

No exception was printed to terminal out.

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

Try to run omxplayer with exactly those switches:

omxplayer -s -o both --no-keys /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4
omxplayer -s -o both --no-keys --loop /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4
vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

Both sets of switches result in normal play of the mp4

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

when I run the commands without the --no-keys switch everything runs well and I get the following output: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ omxplayer -s -o both /home/pi/Videos/DTLA.mp4

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

What version of omxplayer are you using? Do you use a build from http://omxplayer.sconde.net?

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

when I run the commands without the --no-keys switch everything runs well

Does that imply that it doesn't run well with the --no-keys options present?

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

it runs well with --no-keys and without however with --no-keys I cant capture the terminal output

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

yes I'm running a build from http://omxplayer.sconde.net as per wget http://omxplayer.sconde.net/builds/omxplayer_0.3.7~git20160713~66f9076_armhf.deb

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

Some extra information and context.

I have no problem playing your test files - synctest.mp4 and small_testfile.mp4. Omxplayer-sync also plays the smaller mp4's I'm working with, but seems to fail when files size gets to around 4GB and/or data rate hit 35Mbps. My aim is to be able to run 36GB files with 50Mbps data rates - I have tested these with omxplayer and they run well. All files were encoded in the same format on the same machine.

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

Try to change the following code: @`` if not self.read_position_local(): print("WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test withomxplayer -s OPTIONS`")

to
    print self.read_position_local()
    if self.read_position_local() == False:
        print("WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test with `omxplayer -s OPTIONS`")

And run again.
vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

i had to change the first line to: 

           print (self.read_position_local())

otherwise it would not run, then the output was:

False WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test with omxplayer -s OPTIONS

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

try this

    def Position(self):
        return self.properties.Get(
            'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
            'Position')

instead of 

    def Position(self):
        try:
            return self.properties.Get(
                'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
                'Position')
        except Exception as e:
            return False

It must fail and the error in this case would be of interest.

turingmachine commented 7 years ago

After that reverse the last change and try this:

    def initialize(self):
        sleep(10) # wait for omxplayer to appear on dbus
        return self._get_dbus_interface()
vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

After the first change I get the same output as before:

False WARNING: omxplayer did not start. Try to test with omxplayer -s OPTIONS

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

after the second change it works !!!!

many thanks Simon, your patience and attention are greatly appreciated.

I will test it further with my largest files over the next couple of days.

bjornskov commented 7 years ago

Can one of you guys give me a short review of what have to be done? I have the exact same problem. Some video files it accepts, others it does not. All possible to play in omxplayer.

bjornskov commented 7 years ago

Nevermind guys. For anyone having same problem, do the following:

sudo nano /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync

In that file on line 84. Find the line saying sleep(2) # wait for omxplayer to appear on dbus. Change the number to 10 instead of 2. It seems to be the waiting time for omxplayer to start.

vanDemonian commented 7 years ago

Have tested with 36GB files at 35 Mbps and all is good. Clearly it takes a bit longer for the larger files to load and the 10 second sleep fixes that.
