Hi,
First post.
We are evaluating batch of ROCK64 boards for a project where 4K video playback is a must. FHD naturally too.
The SBCs only duty will be to loop one video (apart from taking some network signals and reacting to GPIO in a separate daemon).
What is the current state of smooth video playback on ROCK64 (RK3328) boards on FBdev (thus: boot -> directly to terminal -> video starts). X11 is unnecessary overhead and layer to manage (but needed in ROCK64 case?)
Presumably H.265 for 4K, but as compressed size is not an issue H.264 will do. Audio out through HDMI. eMMC not SD card.
I've found https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7056, https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=424, but these discussions are for ROCKPRO64 or A64.
Titles such as Was 4K a Lie? and answers there by moderators (be patient; hardware supports, but...) are worrisome (different board but still), given that this board is advertised with 4K60P written in bold.
Thanks!
