Some initial experiences with video playback, using the OpenELEC XBMC installation on the Raspberry Pi….<\/p>\n
Recorded HD TV Programmes<\/strong> (m2t..\u00a0 UK..\u00a0 BBC HD etc..) – playback bad.\u00a0\u00a0 Jerky and stop\/start.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is not a great surprise, as the format is (to put it politely..) a bit of a hybrid sound \/ video combination..<\/p>\n 720p camera recordings<\/strong> (mpeg4), originally created from 1080p camera originals, for uploading to YouTube – playback and picture quality excellent!<\/p>\n 1080p video trailers<\/strong> (mov) from the web.. –\u00a0 slight stutter at start, but then playback quality is very good..<\/p>\n I will now create some 1080p versions of some of my YouTube camera videos, and test these..<\/p>\n It is worth mentioning the the Pi sound output is via HDMI, so your monitor needs to have an audio socket, or built-in speakers..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The audio socket on the card is somewhat primitive, and of low-quality, and (AFAIK) has no driver support currently.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I will be experimenting with an external usb sound card, to see if this is a practical alternative..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some initial experiences with video playback, using the OpenELEC XBMC installation on the Raspberry Pi….
