Cannot run omxplayer properly

[esesyn01]

Description

After migrating to kirkstone, omxplayer on RPI 0-2w (32-bit version) cannot be run properly. Some libraries aren't visible for omxplayer binary file, even if they are present in correct directory. After directly specifying the path to the libraries, omxplayers exits with "Aborted" communicate

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. run omxplayer.bin video.mp4
2. run LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/vc/lib:/usr/lib/omxplayer" omxplayer.bin video.mp4

Describe the results you received: Output for 1:

omxplayer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libavutil.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Output for 2:

Aborted

Describe the results you expected:

Properly playing the video

Looks like omxplayer sources were updated ~3 months ago https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/commit/3122d5291da5c8583e7f4b1d063f28eac90b6f96. Was it tested on devices?

Omxplayer was deprecated upstream in favour of VLC - see https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/pull/985. This means that I don't think there are many users of the current omxplayer support in this layer so unless somebody tests it and pushes eventually required fixes (upgrades), I will most probably remove the support "soon".

@agherzan Ok, we will try and use VLC from https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/pull/985 . Was it only tested on rpi4 with X11? We would like to run this on rpi0w2 with framebuffer only.

It was only community-tested.
