launch omxplayer-sync on startup

[TheAffair]

Hello- I installed omxplayer-sync on B plus running Stretch. Master works fine. Slave returns the errors below on startup. Can you provide a solve or point me in the right direction please?

I am launching omxplayer-sync with a bash script on start up using this script:
#!/bin/bash
echo startup.sh : Launching omxplayer-sync:
omxplayer-sync -muv hdmi /home/pi/Vides/DFS.mp4

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last)
File "/usr/bin/omxplayer-sync", line 394, in
OMXplayerSync().run()

Wrong video file pathname?

I am launching omxplayer-sync with a bash script on start up which runs master perfectly using this script: #!/bin/bash echo startup.sh : Launching omxplayer-sync: omxplayer-sync -muv hdmi /home/pi/Vides/DFS.mp4

Typo is folder name "Vides"? Are you using -luv on the slave instead of -muv?

Good catch! Thank you. But still not working. The error return seems to reflect an issue with omxplayer-sync not existing in the /bin location.

Yes I am using -luv on slave and -muv on master. I was able to copy the working disk image and change the slave to -luv which solved the issue. However when installing omxplayer – sync on a fresh Stretch or Jesse release I get the same error message.

FYI i'd recommend removing the -v flag when launching on startup. It spits out a lot of lines that are useful when testing but aren't needed during automated runs.

Good call. Thank you!

Hi, I am new here. I got a job that require me to in touch with Raspberry Pi. I guess It's Pi4.

I wonder how to create script for autoplay like that bash you did. I only know to input line command on nano rc.local.
