GUI interface for the OMX Player.
Uses GTK for UI, OMX Player for playing video on Raspberry Pi, MPlayeron the desktop Linux.
Goal is to create a lightweight and fast GUI for the OMXPlayer app onRaspberry Pi. It will not have the overhead of Python with its bloatof libraries and bindings, and at the same time will offer a minimalUI to conveniently playback videos with hardware acceleration and highquality by the OMX Player.
Work in progress.
Depends on gtkmm library version 3.0 or higher. To install run:
sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-3.0-dev
If you are building on a Debian-based system (Ubuntu or Raspbian).
There is still plenty to do before calling it a "release", but thisapp does what it was created to do and is already rather useful.
This is a tiny GTK-based application that does its best to launch theactual OMX Player application in background.
It also creates a GUI window in the window manager so that it canintercept keypress events and relay them to the running omxplayerprocess.
Thus, it becomes possible to associate video file types with thisapplication for convenient video playback right from the file browser.
