pyomxplayer

Python wrapper module around OMXPlayer for the Raspberry Pi.

Unlike other implementations, this module does not rely on any external scripts and FIFOs, but uses the pexpect module for communication with the OMXPlayer process.

CPU overhead is rather low (~3% for the Python process on my development RPi) and the object-oriented design makes it easy to re-use in other projects.

Installation: (assuming you're the pi user and you want to install system wide!) -------------

git clone https://github.com/karlg100/pyomxplayer.git
pushd pyomxplayer
sudo python setup.py install
popd

Example:

>>> from pyomxplayer import OMXPlayer
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> omx = OMXPlayer('/tmp/video.mp4', '--no-osd')
>>> pprint(omx.__dict__)
