Description
Remotely control OMX Player on your Raspberry Pi.If you don't own a Raspberry Pi, or you don't know what it is, keep moving, there is nothing to see here... If you do, stay tuned!
What is it?
- a simple way to watch videos on the Raspberry Pi with minimal overhead
- all you need is an SSH server (you will probably have this anyway) and OMX Player (naturally)
What is it not?
- a full-blown media player
- a generic SSH client
- a remote control for any other things on the Raspberry Pi, like GPIO pins, system monitor, etc.
I want to know more!
- large remote control for convenience, with alternative layouts
- supports hardware volume buttons
- keep browsing files while watching videos
- OMX Player connection running in the background to free up your device to do other things
- quick access to remote control via notification
- support for subtitles and multiple audio streams
- optional "screen" support to re-attach lost connections
- password based or public key SSH login
- support "killall" as a last resort to get rid of a running OMX Player that you somehow have lost control over (try the "screen" option if your connection is prone to drop frequently)
- reboot/shutdown and TV on/off functions for convenience
- integrated IMDb lookup (IMDb app needs to be installed)
- folder play, i.e. auto advance to next item
- URL play (add/edit/delete URLs manually, view/share URLs with OMX Remote from external app, configure multiple URL play commands)
- experimental playback of videos on device (share from Photos or Gallery app)
Help, I'm stuck!
- if you cannot get a file listing, try to log in to your Raspberry Pi using a generic SSH client with the same connection and user details
- if you get a file listing but cannot play any files, try to run OMX Player manually on the Raspberry Pi
- if that does not help, drop us an email
Oh, by the way, thanks for reading this far, and of course...
have a nice day ;)

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
