Add displaying static title and elapsed time, duration

Open nonoo opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

This pull request contains the following additions:

  • A static title which is displayed at the bottom of the screen. It can be enabled and set with a command line argument, or with a D-BUS call. While a static title is displayed, the subtitle is padded slightly upwards. The title can be toggled, shown or hidden using D-BUS calls or key bindings. The alignment of the title can be adjusted between left and center (default: left) using a command line argument.
  • The elapsed time and duration can be displayed at the bottom right of the screen. It can be enabled with a command line argument, or with a D-BUS call. The time display can be toggled, shown or hidden using D-BUS calls or key bindings.

Both the static title and time display uses the same font which can be set using a command line argument. The font size can also be set. This font is independent of the subtitle font.

Now it doesn't seem like anything's getting merged (is there an active fork?) This is very useful, but taking 6 keys in the keymap is not so economical.

This is the ONLY place I've been able to find ANY mention of the heretofore feature of displaying elapsed/total time during pause in omxplayer. This seems to have vanished at some point circa 2020-dec. I sure would like to get this feature back. Please contact me if you know what happened and/or how to fix/restore it.
