I have few and had a hard time using them for anything that required real processing. I also had to modify the circuit to run power directly off the first fuse on the USB Micro to the USB ports. The Pi2 is a much better product.

This MPEG2 codec has been around for ever and they still want money for it. Amazing. I guess the problem is that mplayer don't use the hardware. Ill try this multimedia distro later.

They aren't needed unless you use hidef<br> MPEG2 or watch liveTV through it. StdDef content plays fine. The CPU handles it<br> easily.<br> <br> h.264 codec support is already in the hardware - when watching videos with that<br> vcodec, CPU is 3% to 15% depending on the resolution. 1080p works fine. I<br> suspect mplayer doesn't know to use the HW decoder. Using OSMC as the distro<br> here with a plexBMC addon (among other addons) to make streaming network shows<br> nice. Most of these addons get the shows at 720p (or higher) without any<br> commercials. 5.1 audio works too - both AC3 and AAC - I don't use mp3, but that<br> works too. Multiple language tracks for audio and multiple subs or srts work.<br> All in all, it is a nice, silent, solution for the projector room.<br> <br> OSMC works with remotes or there is a web interface or there is an android app<br> which is very nice too. All free. <a href="https://osmc.tv/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://osmc.tv/">https://osmc.tv/</a> - the site seems down now.<br><div><div class="h5"><br> On 08/19/2015 11:17 AM, Raj Wurttemberg wrote:<br> > Boris,<br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > Did you purchase & enable the hardware video decoders?<br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/tag/codecs/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/tag/codecs/">https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/tag/codecs/</a><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-video-features/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-video-features/">https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-video-features/</a><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > /Raj<br> ><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > From: <a href="mailto:ale-bounces@ale.org" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:ale-bounces@ale.org">ale-bounces@ale.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:ale-bounces@ale.org" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:ale-bounces@ale.org">ale-bounces@ale.org</a>] On Behalf Of Boris Borisov<br> > Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 11:04 AM<br> > To: Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts<br> > Subject: [ale] RasPI video play<br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > Just playing around my raspi with raspbian.
