Added by Hammel about 1 year ago.

Description
App should exit to launcher but is restarting on its own.
- Subject changed from Kiosk: app automaticall restarts to Kiosk: app automatically restarts
- Status changed from New to Rejected
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
Not sure what was happening before, but this problem appears to be gone now with latest builds.
Rejecting as can't be reproduced.
- Status changed from Rejected to In Progress
- Target version changed from 2.0 - Harkonnen to 3.0 - Corrino
- % Done changed from 100 to 10
Reopening. The problem shows up on RPi 1 B+ more readily: exiting videofe requires two escape key hits. On kiosk mode it should only require one.
This won't be fixed for 2.0. Moving to 3.0.

omxplayer captures the ESC key to exit. So the first HOME key exits omxplayer while the second exits the app (as long as omxplayer has not started into it's next video). keyboard input can be disabled with --no-keys.
However, there is no way around this because once omxplayer starts it still captures keystrokes even if it doesn't honor them. So we need the first ESC to kill omxplayer and the second to exit the app.
The touchscreen can override this because touch events are not managed by omxplayer, only by X.org and videofe. So a touch exit should work as expected.
I'm going to close this since it's working as expected.
