OMXPlayer not working any more?
-
looks like you need to setup ffmpeg

@sdetweil - Does OMXPlayer require ffmpeg to work? I thought OMXPlayer shipped with Raspbian and was the default video renderer. I base this off of this article: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/applications/omxplayer.md

@bhepler it looks like the h264 engine has beem removed from omxplayer… and u have to build it manually into ffmpeg, and convert the h164 file to mpeg
-
@sdetweil - Ah. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
-
@bhepler I have the same issue like you. Have you found a solution or fixed it?
-
Just an FYI - I tried it today and it played the video first time, with no issues on an RPI 4. It would appear that something has changed in the default Buster installation.
