- If one is not worried about unsupported codecs, why would one not use dvdplayer with hardware acceleration? Otherwise, why would one not use the automatic option?
Is this change (i.e. the apparent deprecation of omxplayer) likely to be the standard for Helix?
Yes, I would expect Helix builds to use the code from newclock4.
All three acceleration options are enabled by default.
This means for the majority of content it will behave like omxplayer used to.
For dvds or alsa audio it will behave like dvdplayer with acceleration enabled.
For unsupported codecs, it will behave like dvdplayer without acceleration.
But all this is automatic - you don't have to know or care about what's happening under the hood.
