Error - 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

Hello,

I got below error messages when I was running python in terminal. It is similar to #issue 1.

from pyomxplayer import OMXPlayer
from pprint import pprint
omx = OMXPlayer('/home/pi/1.mp3')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyomxplayer.py", line 32, in init
file_props = self._FILEPROP_REXP.match(self._process.readline()).groups()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

Hope you guys fix this issue. Thanks.

File properties are not outputed by omxplayer on some versions. Just comment out the 3 lines below # Get file properties and the 3 lines starting with if self.audio['streams'] > 0:

Hello, jbaiter

I have rpi raspbian #737 , latest omxplayer. And had this problem. Managed to solve it by commenting those lines , and ALSO the audio lines (group error) below.

Now it works almost flawless.

Hope this helps you ,

good work !

Hello all,

I appreciate this is quite old but I've had similar experiences. leucos's suggestion and the 13 Oct 2015 commit resolved the problem for .mkv files, however .mp4 (while they no longer produce an error) do not play. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
