hello,<br>
<br>
if by "from within PD" you mean triggering omxplayer from pd<br>
you can do that either by using [shell] like Simon explained<br>
or by using pdsend and pdreceive, this could be done remotely, here is an<br>
how to :<br>

yes .. a pipe works fine as well.<br>

Antoine did you check out xbmc further, I don't have a Pi here at the moment but have been looking at the xbmc docs and it can be controlled directly through a TCP port, so you should be able to do a lot more control (via netsend etc). Perhaps only the media centre playlist, looping and seeking stuff ... no crossfades that I can see. There does seem to be some provision for custom effects somewhere, via shaders but it seems, but probably only in GL, not in GL-ES. Still ... accurate seeking could be useful, there seems to be access to a global clock and seeks in files ... both with high enough resolution to sync things well. I'll test that when I can when I get a chance.<br>
<br>
Has anyone tried using pdp on a Pi? again, I'll have a play when I've got one here. Pdp has an xv window, and a movie player that uses the linux quicktime library ... is the quicktime library available for Pi? and if so does it use the built-in codecs? ... that could be a way to go for fairly straightforward video playback.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
