Troubleshooting
No rights to VCHIQ
On bare installations of the default distributions Omxplayer often has insufficient permissions to access /dev/vchiq. One solution would be to run omxplayer as root, but a nicer solution is to add a udev rule so that /dev/vchiq is also accessible from other users. To accomplish this, do the following under root:
# echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq",GROUP="video",MODE="0660"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vchiq-permissions.rules
Now add yourself to the group named 'video':
# usermod -aGvideo USERNAME
Reboot the Raspberry and you should be able to run omxplayer without the vchiq-error showing up.
HDMI
When using HDMI make sure to pass '-o hdmi' to omxplayer if you want the audio to playthrough the HDMI cable:
omxplayer -o hdmi videofile.mp4
