Replacing omxplayer examples in documentation

[aallan]

omxplayer was removed in Bullseye. Examples using it need to be replaced. See discussions in #2395.

Dear team. I'm a big Fan of raspberry Pi and following the documentation and I was confused...

If The simplest way of playing audio and video on Raspberry Pi is to use the installed OMXPlayer application. Then Why was it removed ? :(

I just tried the "vlc example.mp3" and it doesn't work straightforward... Could you remove legacy information and put updated one?

Thanks for the great work.

Ps. I'm trying "mpg123 example.mp3" and it works like a charm :) That could be also an option

omxplayer uses the 'legacy' graphics stack, which isn't supported on 64-bit. See the section about KMS in https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-os-debian-bullseye/

Dear Raspberry Pi Team. You're doing a great job, it's just that as the situation is still the same (examples need to be updated) I am not sure if closing the issue would be correct. I say this because I received a mail telling me that this would be closed. Thanks for the great support.

Yes, still needs to be done. Unfortunately, we're a small team, and it hasn't reached the top of the pile. We welcome pull requests!

Still a thing!

In progress; I'm in the middle of documenting some of VLC's command-line option equivalents to omxplayer.

Fixed on the bookworm branch. OMXPlayer is still mentioned in documentation/asciidoc/accessories/tv-hat.adoc, but that'll get fixed as part of #2936
