Does anyone know how I can get better video out of movieplayer on linux arm ?, I’m able to play video but at very low resolution (640x480), anything much above this and the video is stuttering and cant keep up with the audio.
Ive tried different resolutions and overclocked the Pi with no improvement, any ideas ?
Raspberry Pi 4, with good amount of RAM or, something like Orange Pi 5 if you want it really fast. (The later one you can boot from NVMe drive which eliminates the turtle slow SD cards).
Most boards are just what they are, cheap, low power consumption, with not much computing power.
Note I have no experience with this so cannot tell you how good or bad choice that is.
You will of course always be limited by the speed of the SD card. But choosing good SD card with large data throughput rating then you can reduce that a bit. Though SD card is never a speed monster even if using the very best one.
Here is also article on how to enable hardware decoding on Raspberry:
Thanks to all for your replies, I thing Björn Eiríksson is correct, you need to buy something to enable hardware decoding, I will have to make-do without the hardware decoding I think.
Hi Eugene, I’m a new user of Xojo so I used the movieplayer widget from the xojo toolbox, is there another way to do it via shell script or something ?
