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

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Leap 15.5 users, for example, can do this with the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.5 snappy
Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.5 for openSUSE_Leap_15.4 or openSUSE_Tumbleweed if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install omxplayer-pi, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install omxplayer-pi
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
