Looping

[aaist]

Hello,

I am able to get this working and have a perfect sync going across multiple pis. Unfortunately however, despite not using the 'loop' function in my code, the video seems to loop endlessly.

How do I command it to just play once and then end/close?

I am using the following as a test: omxplayer-sync -luv --no-osd synctest.mp4 omxplayer-sync -muv --no-osd synctest.mp4

Thank you.

As you could read in theREADME, the -u option stands for loop.

In your case, your command would look like: omxplayer-sync -l synctest.mp4

Keep in mind that there is a bug when defining the audio device:  https://github.com/turingmachine/omxplayer-sync/issues/64

Hi magdesign.

I am aware that the -u option is for looping. My question was that my command is not using the -u function - I do not want the video to loop, and even without the -u, it is looping by default.

did you start master and slave like this: 

omxplayer-sync -l synctest.mp4 omxplayer-sync -m synctest.mp4

as mentioned before there is an issue when sending other flags like: -o local --no-osd is not necessary Do you have a newer build of omxplayer?

Yes even with that it loops in exactly the same way. I have installed the latest version available without any modification from the instructions listed.

It is working as I want but I don't want it to keep looping. Is there a way to turn it off? I'd want to be able to turn it on by using -u but not for it to be on by default.

Try using the older version of the script. I think since the seamless update we have a bug in the code...

Yes try the commit before the last one. I'll look into it this evening.

Thank you both. Could you please point me to the old one to try?
