how to get video via xrdp

Feb 10, 2014 1 Replies

Hi all,



I am struggeling with the pi cam and xrdp. If I record a video witht the pi, I get a video file, which can be seen on omxplayer without probs. Due to the fact, that I use xrdp via Win7, I can start the omxplayer and I do receive the info about the vid, but no output to the remote x11 desktop. I tried several -o options, but there was no vid on the remote desktop.



Any hints on that, since I did nothing on google for it



Best Frank


I don't think omxplayer can write to a (virtual) framebuffer device as used by vnc or rdp.
