#### OpenMax player for the raspberry pi

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`
