KEY BINDINGS
Usage
Streaming
RTMP
You do not need to download an MP4 file to watch it with Omxplayer. If you have the URL of a (H.264) rtmp:// stream, just stream it with:
To stream a (H.264) rtmpt://... URL with Omxplayer, just change the head rtmp:// to rtmpt://.
RTSP
Support for RTSP was added in 2012[1] (for instance, allowing the use of VLC media player as the streaming server).
Example:
Audio
It is possible to select the audio output by specifying -o or --adev on the command line between:
- local: analog output
- hdmi: hdmi output (hdmi_drive=2 is then required in config.txt)
- both: both outputs
Example:
Troubleshooting
Black screen after playback
If you get a black screen on your X11 desktop after Omxplayer is finished, you can use this command to restore your view:
Or you can use a small Bash script for video playback to do this every time:
On Raspbian, xrefresh is part of the x11-xserver-utils package(apt-get install x11-xserver-utils).
No rights to VCHIQ
On bare installations of the default distributions, Omxplayer often has insufficient permissions to access /dev/vchiq. One solution would be to run Omxplayer as root, but a nicer solution is to add a udev rule so that /dev/vchiq is also accessible from other users. To accomplish this, do the following under root:
Now add yourself to the group named 'video':
Reboot the Raspberry Pi, and you should be able to run Omxplayer without the vchiq-error showing up.

HDMI
When using HDMI make sure to pass '-o hdmi' to Omxplayer if you want the audio to play through the HDMI cable:

Benelux broadcaster Mediahuis is installing the OmniPlayer 3 radio automation software platform for its Flanders-located stations in Belgium. That includes its NRJ- and Nostalgie-branded stations along with individual stations of other formats.
Mediahuis Technical Manager Luc de Groote pointed to OmniPlayer’s ability to create separate brand-oriented versions of a program for each station. He explained, “The stations NRJ and Nostalgie, each with six regional editions, will use the edition function. With this, broadcasters can add advertisement blocks regionally and broadcast them simultaneously.”
De Groote also noted that the company was familiar with OmniPlayer and “it is a stable and robust system.”
In addition to standard automation features, OmniPlayer 3 is bringing along a news editing and playout system.
According to a release the rollout will start with the singular format stations and then move to the larger NRJ and Nostalgie groups.
