looping video freezes

[markfarrington]

I am using omxplayer for a signage solution - I've recently updated the application for the new B+ and v2 raspberry Pis.

Using omxplayer with --loop I'm finding after a number of executions the video will freeze on a still. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to when it freezes (sometimes I'll get 24 hours out of it, at other times only 5/6 loops of the video.

running the latest Pi firmware/raspbian passing the following switches to omxplayer version 337004e (but had the same problem on the build of 30th Jan)

-o hdmi --no-osd --loop --no-keys --blank

Would appreciate any help you can give, as this seems to be an omxplayer thing - I can find no fault with the rest of the code.

@markfarrington : see e.g. popcornmix omxplayer issue 187. Any change to post/mail the faulting movie?

Sure thing is there any way I can send it to you direct, rather than posting it online? It's a corporate presentation - it hasn't got anything particularly secret in it, but I'd rather not post it online.

No problem, just use [email protected] Hopefully I can get it to freeze :-)
