how to I add args? #34

Closed electricgraphy closed 9 years ago

electricgraphy commented 9 years ago

Hi sorry for a stupid ask but I really don't know about python..

player = OMXPlayer('/home/pi/03.mp4', args=['--no-osd'])

I want to add another args, for example '-o local'. I tried like this but it does not work.

player = OMXPlayer('/home/pi/03.mp4', args=['--no-osd','-o local'])

can you help me? thank you very much.

Hi,

You have to obey the shell word splitting rules, you can use the shlex library to split a string of args into an array of words the same as how the shell would split them.

Your mistake is to include local with -o, you want [ '-o', 'local' ]

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried again as your replay, like this:

player = OMXPlayer('/home/pi/03.mp4', args=['-o','local'])

but it does not work too with some error message. if you don't mind, would you check this one more time please? thank you.
