trouble with video playback

[Lalith]

ayufan is working on Bionic which will, among many other things, include gstreamer so you'll be able to playback accelerated video. You can see that the latest image failed to build but I think its a matter of days. Everything will also be backported to Xenial (and included in the Debian builds I assume). As a side note, you wont be getting accelerated video in-browser, but this is true for other ARM boards too. That said, with time software playback is bound to get better. 

I am a little puzzled as to why you want an image with a full DE for your use case; why not go with LibreElec and use Docker for the headless stuff?

Wow, LibreElec looks quite interesting, I wonder why I didn't stumble upon it yet. Docker seems like a proper solution aswell, thanks so far, I will check it out this evening. But what about video streams that are pretty much Browser dependant, like the South Park web presence or news page video content? What can I do, if I want a fluentt playback of this(if there even is a way)?

Hello,


I used the LibreElec buildfrom Raybutu to play back UHD video streams from a Astra satellite.  
I have  a VU solo receiver and it can stream any satellite content, and I wanted to see how good the Rock64boards capability is.
Playing back a UHD video stream takes on 20%-30% of a core with Rabuntus LibreElec build. pretty impressive. Not a single bit of jitter for UDH and HDR streams

The PVR clients dont work yet, so dont bother using them. Instead, create a file with .stream extension and get Kodi to play it.
in my case the file  .strm looks like:

Code:

#EXTM3U 
#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true 
#EXTINF:-1,UHD1 by ASTRA / HD 
#EXTVLCOPT:program=2
http://192.168.124.106:8001/1:0:1F:2:40B:1:C22AF2:0:0:0:

Where the IP of the streaming server (satellite receiver) 192.168.124.106.
You can try the same method for other streamed content.

The Raybuntu version I used is :
