Running the Ubuntu Xenial Image on the Pine64, 2 Gb.
I tried to play a video file that I normally use for USB stick on a smart tv, full hd.
With the current configuration and used codex it's too slow to process, the video and audio plays is tiny fractions.
Player: VLC.
So the question: can I get the right settings in Handbrake to convert videos so they can be played on Pine64/Ubuntu, in full hd ?
I currently use:
Video Encoder: H.264(x264)
Framerate: 23.976
Constant Framerate, Constant Quality, RF: 20
Storage Geometry: 1280 x 1080
Could please provide the steps to compile an Android image for PINE64. I would like to start working in the latest Android image, specially targeting the AndroidTV build for the PINE64.
This thread could be used to aggregate the steps-by-steps later.
Provisioning to add possible steps here later, so no one needs to hunt multiple pages of messages.

Hi everyone !
I've got an issue. I created a puredata patch on my old Raspberry pi with pd-extended but i can't figure out how to make it work on Pine64 /Debian.
Even if i download all the available puredata libraries in Synaptic, there s still objects that are missing. This happens because i cannot install pd-extended on debian (maybe a matter linked to the cpu architecture).
Have you ever did it ? Is there any way to get my patch back ?
I've spent a while searching but haven't found anything yet. I'd like to use a usb flash drive to run the board from and not an sd card.
I had a quick look at the boot partition, but nothing jumped out as to how to achieve this.
I installed to Ubuntu image provided here on the forum.
Works out of the box.
Default:
User ubuntu
Password ubuntu
I leave this for the moment to make life easy.
Installed lxde.
The login screen refuses my password for user ubuntu (there is only one user)
When going back to command line, I can login with ubuntu.
How do I solve this ?
OK, problem is solved.
I had to options to login: Openbox and LXDE
Openbox worked.
After logout, LXDE worked also.
It's a mystery to me how this is possible,
I think I tried first with LXDE about 20 times with the ubuntu password,
it seems it needed a "kick" from Openbox to work ?
I do not know why but I have tried every version of Android listed in the wiki, and none of them will work on my Pine. I have the 64+ 1GB board. I can get Android to boot. I can connect the wifi and get to the internet. And that is it.
The Play Store crashes every time I attempt to use it. Normally I can click 3 to 5 times and as soon as I attempt to download an app, it stops responding then just closes. If I try it after the first crash, it will just shut down immediately with the first thing I click.
So I have downloaded the APK file for a couple different apps. I can attach a USB stick, ES File opens it up. But when I attempt to install any of the APK files, the installation fails.
Does anyone know where I can find an Android image that actually allows me to install apps?
I filled out the survey when they were first sent out and was told my card wouldn't be charged until the lockout date. The backerkit website finally charged my card two weeks ago which I assumed meant my shipment would be coming, but I haven't heard anything since. For people who have received their shipments, how long did it take after you were charged? Should I be expecting tracking info or something?
Hi, I got a used Dell 2014tt touchscreen. What do I need to do to enable it to be used with Android/Pine64? I've got the HDMI and USB connected but no luck.
so a reminder:
I successfully managed to boot and start up my 512MB DDR pine64 with Debian, the internet connection via wifi works fine.
obviously as a pilot test I wanted to watch a youtube video, but it takes forever even start playing it - iceweasel soon gets stucked, pops out a script error and I must close the browser.
I know that the 512MB is the most basic model, but come on - it can't even run a youtube video?
is there something i can actually do? higher voltage on the power supply (now it's a 2.1A 5V)? using another app or browser (though even Kodi runs slowly)?
really hope theres another solution rather than spending extra money on the pine64+ or, god forbid, rasp pi...
