Raspbian omxplayer - sound but no picture?

wallarug

I can hear the sound from the .mp4 video but no image.  I had omxplayer working in Debian squeeze with this video file.  What can I do to fix this?

    I have picture now for about 5 seconds before it freezes the whole RPi.  This is after I changed my RAM split from 224:32 back to the default 128:128.  Is there a fix for my problem?  If so can someone point me in the right direction.

    Just found this fix - https://github.com/torarin/omxplayer/commit/764877ae2b3548a18f459f06ce60bc286b8647f2 - How do I put it into action?

    Looking back through the github records, this is a fix applied to a fork of the original omxplayer, but it looks like it was applied to the origianl as well. If the Raspian people are tracking omxplayer closely, it should show up soon when you do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. I would do that first, and read through the Raspbian forum threads about omxplayer to see what they say.

     

    Or you could do a git clone and compile it yourself - but I don't know how long that will take. You might find out more about omxplayer than you care to learn image
