Once everything is installed and configured, you’ll be able to play videos on your TV and command their reproduction (volume, pause-play and time) directly from your Google Chrome Browser (from your laptop or smart-phone devices). I am happy to present RPI-Cast a Google Chrome’s extension that will turn your Raspberry PI into a Google Chromecast-like device. This happens with mp4, mov and even the fbi one for jpg and png. Without the -o hdmi and it still plays nice but smaller and ‘over’ the Confluence RaspBMC background. Yet when I load RaspBMC up fully and I type omxplayer -p -ohdmi /home/pi/video.mp4 it plays beautifully except the black screen stays and I have to sudo reboot to get my raspBMC back. I looks like it is trying to play the file but I just get a black screen then the ‘R’ comes back. I tried it in windows, then using notepad++ and then ubuntu to try and test if it was the end of line issue with windows vs linux. I have a rPi B+ with the latest RaspBMC on it with omxplayer_0.3.6~git20141024~98982df_b installed and for the life of me I just cannot get it the above tutorial to work.

You will now need to create a startup script that will run omxplayer at bootup.I keep mine in /home/pi/ and call the video video.mov Copy your video somewhere to the Raspberry Pi.Press ctrl-x, type y to confirm save, then press enter to return to the command line.dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet.You will need to edit your /boot/cmdline.txt file:.You can use any video file that omxplayer can play back, but I like. Anything shorter and the video will end before it’s finished booting and you will continue to see the kernel messages.

Instead of using the program fbi, we will use omxplayer to playback a video file while the Raspberry Pi is booting in the background.įirst off, you will want to copy the 15 to 20 second movie file to your Raspberry Pi device. This is based off the tutorial found here: and looks like this when finished: So I decided to come up with another way. It works, but there are a lot of problems with it like failing gracefully and not returning the console window back if you aren’t booting to X.
