OMX Remote Raspberry Pi: A Convenient Way to Control OMX Player
OMX Remote Raspberry Pi is a multimedia application developed by 10cars Software that allows you to remotely control OMX Player on your Raspberry Pi. With just an SSH server and OMX Player, you can watch videos on your Raspberry Pi with minimal overhead. This application is not a full-blown media player, but rather a simple way to control OMX Player remotely.
The application features a large remote control with alternative layouts for convenience, supports hardware volume buttons, and allows you to browse files while watching videos. Additionally, the OMX Player connection runs in the background, freeing up your device to do other things. You can quickly access the remote control via notification, and the application supports subtitles and multiple audio streams.
Other features include optional "screen" support to re-attach lost connections, password-based or public key SSH login, support for "killall" as a last resort to get rid of a running OMX Player, reboot/shutdown, and TV on/off functions for convenience. The application also integrates with IMDb, allowing you to easily lookup movies.
Overall, OMX Remote Raspberry Pi is a great application for those who want to remotely control OMX Player on their Raspberry Pi. However, if you encounter any issues, the developers are always available to help.
