OMXPlayer is a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry PI. It was developed as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation and is quite handy to use standalone.
OMXPlayer should be used with the fake KMS driver on Ubuntu Core, make sure to have "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-256" in /boot/uboot/config.txt (the default).
After installation please connect the hardware observe interface
sudo snap connect omxplayer-pi:hardware-observe
If you want to play content from the home dir on ubuntu core, also connect the home interface
sudo snap connect omxplayer-pi:home
To play back content from a USB key or other external media, connect the removable-media interface
sudo snap connect omxplayer-pi:removable-media
