SMplayer tweaks

[Luke]

This is a short tutorial on tweaking SMplayer to perform at its optimum. You can expect smooth 1080p playback of most formats that VDPAU supports using these settings. 

Open SMplayer and press Ctrl+p 

Under general -> video 

• make sure to have vdpau as output driver 
  
• toggle Double Buffering 
  

Under performance 

• toggle Allow Framedrop
  
• Set treads for decoding to 4
  
• Set loop filter to enable
  

That's it. Granted you have a supported video format file, it should play back perfectly fine in 720p and 1080p.

Thanks! Works for me!

How to enable the subs in vdpau? As a not native speaker I need at least English subs

unless I am mistaken, thats not possible because without drm we effective have 'one plane' of rendering.

Ok, so if I enable DRM, it should work? Or is there any other way to play the videos smoothly with subtitles?

Haven't tried. But last time I tried I had issues with movie playback and drm enabled. 
Also, if you enable drm on the PB you'll still have the issue of the unit not waking from suspend.

So I should improve my English by watching the movies without subs or to use Android to play movies

Yea, android would obviously be another way
