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
If you want to playback movies right now, there's a script inside /usr/local/sbin called "mplayer-play.sh". You can use this to have some HW acceleration (through sunxi VDPAU driver). Although working quite well (the output is smooth most of the time for 1080p), the playback crashes sometimes on my device, so I'm also patiently waiting for working Mali driver. But you might want to give it a try if you're impatient :
Also if you prefer using GUI (the script runs in console), I have created another script for myself that starts GUI with HW support: http://pastebin.com/4964kyjB .
