pwomxplayer
pwomxplayer is a variant of OMXPlayer, a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry Pi. OMXplayer was developed as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation and is quite handy to use standalone. pwomxplayer is a modified version with options for performing geometry transformations related to displaying video on a video wall.
Compiling pwomxplayer
GCC version 4.7 is required.
Cross Compiling
You need the content of your sdcard somewhere mounted or copied. There might be development headers to install on the running Pi system for the crosscompiling.
Edit Makefile.include and change the settings according your locations.
Compiling on the Pi
You can also compile it on the PI the native way ;)
make ffmpeg
make
make dist
