How to use as a Videoplayer?

Whith vlc I got audio at the tv, but no video. And some errors:

Which Pi? I use OSMC on a B+, LibreElec on a B. Both work well.

I put OpenELEC on a RPi Zero and it just works, rather well actually. The TV is only 720p, I don't know how well it would cope with 1080p. I just copy the video files wirelessly to the HDcard, and the TV remote controls the Kodi interface.

If you want to use it as a dedicated media player I recommend LibreElec/Kodi and using the Kore android app to remote control it.

I have an B1 with Wifi in the Kitchen and it plays HD video from my Humax DVR without problems.

I'm using omxplayer on my original PiB. (I'm having problems with long buffering times on streamed downloads, but that's something else.) I can simply use "omxplayer " and it works. No need for the "-o hdmi" option.

Are you using hdmi for normal use (with local K/B and mouse)? Or are you running headless otherwise?

IF you're not using hdmi otherwise, it may be that your configuration is wrong. In /boot/config.txt, I have:

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in # DMT (computer monitor) modes hdmi_drive=2 According to the comment, this should only affect audio, but I dunno..

Can you play an audio file through hdmi?

There are a couple of entries in config.txt (previous to that one) that might also be relevant (all commented out in my case).

I've tried RaspBMC at first, a couple of years ago. Till now, I never tried to play movies, the Pi is working as a music server and I have more than 30,000 music files. At every rescan the Pi freeced. So I decided to use Raspbian with 'minimserver' and it runs perfectly since years. Maybe the latest Kodi will work better with big music collections.

It's a headless installation. It works perfect since years as a music server.

I tried this, but no change. Still no picture.

How I can try?

Okay, will try, Schultze

The two files I used for testing are not played. Now I tried it with some other files and it works. So it is not a problem with omxplayer, but with some of my files.

Thank's,

This is where programs like ffmpeg and handbrake come into their own: they can be used to transcode to a standard format. Don't try that on a pi though. You need BIG CPU grunt for transcoding.

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper  
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating  
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its  
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of  
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must  
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.

Hah! Yes, for interest I downloaded the Big_Bunny file from Wikimedia [an annoyingly big file!], and it fails for me in omxplayer, too. Moved it over to my Haiku machine, and it plays fine there.

I copied over a much smaller (and lower res)ogv file I happened to have, and it won't play that, either. I wonder if it handles that format at all? A bit strange that it doesn't.

Only if you insist on doing it in real time.

What other sort of time is there?

If you want to spend 8 hours transcoding an hours movie, that's still a real 8 hours...

Real time for video usually means at the right rate, something which is essential if you want to transcode on the fly in a media server. That IME is the only time there's a hard requirement for transcoding speed.

Yes this is true - I did not invent the terminology. However real time processing has always meant getting the job done within a specified time interval or by a specified time. Payroll is a real time application for example (if it's not finished by payday there will be loud complaints).

However my point remains that you can transcode perfectly well with modest CPU if you aren't fussy about how long it takes.

Just don't include perspective corrections

Quite some years ago I was rendering video captured at a convention. Part of which was ~10 minutes of a projected video on a screen in the corner of the room. Naturally panning the camera to the screen rather than the stage resulted in a trapezoidal projection. I marked off that section of video for a crop and adjust operation (Sony Vegas Pro -- don't recall the version; 32-bit WinXP, 3.4GHz as I recall [box is in storage, replaced with a, now 64-bit Win10, quad core i7 -- and I may get around to rendering the subsequent convention years sometime this summer -- after a layoff])... Where most of the video rendered at around 12-15 frames per second (I had some color correction in play too), the crop/adjust took nearly a day for the 10 minute clip. Easily a minute per frame if not more.
