Omxplayer Wrapper and cron - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi everyone.
looking build network controlled media player using pi. have been playing around omxplayer wrapper neatly wraps dbus control of omxplayer.
have used following code looks files in location , plays first file finds. works great when run terminal or when logged in through ssh.

code: select all

from omxplayer import omxplayer time import sleep import glob files =[] files = glob.glob("/home/pi/*.mov") print files[0]  player = omxplayer(files[0])  player.play() print player.volume() print player.position() sleep(5) player.pause() sleep(5) player.set_volume(0.5) player.set_position(0) player.play() print player.volume() print player.position() sleep(5) # kill `omxplayer` process gracefully. player.quit() 

works fine when launched terminal not when launched cron on boot. movie plays not paused , rewound assume dbus not connecting.

have search issues when using cron , dbus , seems issue solutions way above understanding. wondering if can point me in direction of useful sites/articles might me working.
thanks

are saying that:

code: select all

... player = omxplayer(files[0])  player.play() # <-- code works , including line print player.volume() print player.position() sleep(5) player.pause() sleep(5) player.set_volume(0.5) player.set_position(0) # <-- 1 not work!!?? player.play() print player.volume() print player.position() sleep(5) # kill `omxplayer` process gracefully. player.quit() 

, rest of code works?
