problem with video show: omxplayer with green screeen after first video / raspberry B

Hello,



for presenting several art videos in a loop I would like to run omxplayer several times in a loop. Unfortunately I got a green screen after the first one:



If I use omxplayer several times from console without X, from the second video on, the images of the video are replaced by a green screen.



I have a wheezy "Linux raspberrypi 4.1.13+ #826 PREEMPT Fri Nov 13



20:13:22 GMT 2015 armv6l" and a raspberry B.

After upgrading the system today, omxplayer with "--loop" works very well, but a try with a second video fails. Any hints?



With kind regards

Edit the videos you want to loop round into a single large video and loop that?

I'd try doing the edit with avidemux but others may suggest better programs to use.

I asked the omxplayer team to integrate --loop. Now we have that option and it's working very well. Thanks to omxplayer developers for the great work.

Now I'm not able to present two videos without reboot and I have no idea how to fix that.

Hi,

incase you are new to the comp.sys.raspberrypi news group, there are three conventions that we follow to make it far easier for everyone to read.
