Command omxplayer from your ruby application!
This gem uses the system call mkfifo to pipe commands into omxplayer. You can play/pause, skip forward and backward and quit the video, as well as pipe in a filename to play.
It also inspects the output from a specialised ps command to provide an estimate for how long the current video has been playing.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'omxplayer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install omxplayer
# see omxplayer/keyboard_shortcuts.rb for all commands
# e.g. http://localhost/player/forward
get '/player/:action' do
Omxplayer.instance.action params[:action]
end
