Web Frontend for Omxplayer on Raspberry Pi
Posted by joe | Filed under Rasbperry Pi, Software Development
By chance I have gotten a Raspberry Pi – now it runs Raspian, is mounted behind by TV screen and gets into a DYI media center. Just installing a XMBC on a preconfigured image is nice, but this is more fun.
I’ve started coding my own web frontend for the omxplayer, and here’s the code: https://github.com/kifj/omxplayer-ui/

Could you post the error log from the http server? Probably something is wrong with your php config

Hello,
I tried omxplay-ui on my raspberry. I’m using lighttpd as webserver (that works pretty well !). My files are located under /media/USBHDD1/raspnas/Movies (also shared via samba). omxplayer-ui is located here : /var/www/omx.
i changed root in settings.json : “root”:”\/media\/USBHDD1\/raspnas\/Movies”
i also changed this.baseUrl = “/omx”; in mediaplayer.js
I can get index.html but cannot see any “server” or files.
index.php returns 404.
Have you got any idea ?
thanks.

Please open a ticket on the Github project, and provide some output from the log files

You need to install a web server – apache httpd for example – and copy the files to a folder which is served by the web server – /var/www for apache.
