cannot set --vol with args[]?

Issue Report

Description

omxplayer.bin doesn't handle the initial volume argument. When play() is invoked, the video plays at full volume for about a second before changing to the volume set with set_volume().

When launching omxplayer from the command line, the argument '--vol -6000' works as expected.

Problem reproduction

$ omxplayer something.mp4 --vol -6000

works as expected

video = omxplayer.OMXPlayer('something.mp4') video.set_volume(-6000) video.play()

video plays with first second at full volume, then is silent

video = omxplayer.OMXPlayer('something.mp4', args=['--vol -6000']) video.set_volume(-6000) video.play()

/usr/bin/omxplayer.bin: unrecognized option '--vol -6000'

Hey,

Thanks for filling out the bug report form!

You've not split the arguments as the shell would, try with args=['--vol', '-6000'], this is about the 3rd time someone has reported this as a bug indicating the docs aren't clear enough that you must split the args as the shell would (or alternatively use shlex to do it for you).

I'll close this (reopen if my fix above doesn't work) and open a new issue to improve the docs.

Thanks

Lol! Thanks so much. That works perfectly.

No problem, thanks for reporting, I count this as a docs bug ;)
