Description
Remotely control OMX Player on your Raspberry Pi.
If you don't own a Raspberry Pi, or you don't know what it is, keep moving, there is nothing to see here... If you do, stay tuned!
What is it? - a simple way to watch videos on the Raspberry Pi with minimal overhead - all you need is an SSH server (you will probably have this anyway) and OMX Player (naturally)
What is it not? - a full-blown media player - a generic SSH client - a remote control for any other things on the Raspberry Pi, like GPIO pins, system monitor, etc.
I want to know more! - large remote control for convenience, with alternative layouts - supports hardware volume buttons - keep browsing files while watching videos - OMX Player connection running in the background to free up your device to do other things - quick access to remote control via notification - support for subtitles and multiple audio streams - optional "screen" support to re-attach lost connections - password based or public key SSH login - support "killall" as a last resort to get rid of a running OMX Player that you somehow have lost control over (try the "screen" option if your connection is prone to drop frequently) - reboot/shutdown and TV on/off functions for convenience - integrated IMDb lookup (IMDb app needs to be installed) - folder play, i.e. auto advance to next item - URL play (add/edit/delete URLs manually, view/share URLs with OMX Remote from external app, configure multiple URL play commands) - experimental playback of videos on device (share from Photos or Gallery app)
Help, I'm stuck! - if you cannot get a file listing, try to log in to your Raspberry Pi using a generic SSH client with the same connection and user details - if you get a file listing but cannot play any files, try to run OMX Player manually on the Raspberry Pi - if that does not help, drop us an email
Oh, by the way, thanks for reading this far, and of course...
have a nice day ;)
Recent changes: - experimental playback of videos on device (share from Photos or Gallery app) - recognize file types by extension (configurable in preferences) - only play video files - optionally hide unknown files - show specific icons in directory list - optionally hide hidden files - follow symbolic links - material design - minor GUI changes

Fantastic app! It just works flawlessly with minimal setup. I'm using it with an RPi Zero streaming media off several Windows-based file servers on my local network. Great work. Thx for sharing!

Dude, you're better than sliced bread This app is the best if you are using Raspberry Pi as a media device. I mean, I was downloading it, expecting nothing, thinking "wouldn't it be nice if I could plug stuff into it?", and lo and behold, custom URL commands. I thought "This is amazing, I wonder if I can send URLs from a browser?" and yes I could. This + RasPi + MPlayer + youtube-dl + livestreamer = checkmate Chromecast. Thank you for coding this up. I wish there was a debug mode, so I could actually see what's happening in a console session.
★★☆☆☆
It plays video, but I don't have sound (raspiest app can play video w/ sound)
★★☆☆☆
In 2020, it still plays some local files. But can't play mp3 or any YT. Probably a good project in its day - last updated 2015
