omxplayer quits immediately

[heisters]

Trying the play example, the command that is passed to spawn just makes omxplayer dump the help output and quits. I'm assuming that the problem is that the dbus client never gets a chance to connect.

Is there some way that you were getting it stay open and wait for a connection? Did you have a different version of omxplayer that behaved differently?

I am able to use omxplayer's dbuscontrol.sh, but only if I start omxplayer separately and give it a video that allows me time to send the commands.
