Remote Control for OMX Player on Raspberry Pi - A Review

The remote control application for OMX Player offers a streamlined solution for video playback on Raspberry Pi devices. While it caters specifically to Raspberry Pi owners, its functionality is tailored for users familiar with the platform.

Overview

  • A straightforward method to enjoy videos on Raspberry Pi with minimal resource usage.
  • Relies on an SSH server and OMX Player, both commonly implemented in Raspberry Pi setups.

Limitations

  • This application does not represent a comprehensive media player.
  • It is not a generic SSH client.
  • The application does not extend its remote control capabilities to other Raspberry Pi functions such as GPIO control or system monitoring.

Features and Usability

  • A large, user-friendly remote control interface with customizable layouts.
  • Full support for hardware volume buttons, enhancing the user experience.
  • The ability to browse files while concurrently watching videos.
  • Maintains an active connection to OMX Player in the background, allowing the device to perform other tasks without interruption.
  • Quick access to remote controls via notifications for added convenience.
  • Includes support for subtitles and multiple audio streams.
  • Optional ""screen"" functionality to recover lost connections easily.
  • Password-based or public key SSH login options for user flexibility.
  • A "killall" feature serves as a last resort to terminate an unresponsive OMX Player session. The ""screen"" option is recommended for connections prone to frequent drops.
  • Offers reboot/shutdown and TV on/off controls, providing additional convenience to users.
  • An integrated IMDb lookup feature (requires IMDb app installation) enhances movie browsing capability.
  • Folder play functionality enables automatic advancement to subsequent files.
  • URL playback allows for manual URL management, sharing with OMX Remote from external applications, and configuring multiple URL play commands.
  • Experimental video playback from device storage (via sharing from Photos or Gallery apps) broadens usability options.

Troubleshooting Assistance

  • If file listing retrieval fails, consider logging into your Raspberry Pi using a standard SSH client to confirm connectivity and credentials.
  • If file listings are visible but playback fails, attempt running OMX Player directly on the Raspberry Pi as a diagnostic measure.
  • For further assistance, reaching out via email is encouraged if issues persist.

Thank you for engaging with this review. We hope you find the specific features beneficial in enhancing your media playback experience on Raspberry Pi.
