top is reporting that both CPUs are running at round 43%,neither even going above 60%. I will be surprised if the issue is a shortage of cycles. I am guessing that the issue is the rate that either the graphics stack of multi-media stack consume the data. This leads to jerky motion of the picture which makes viewing unpleasant.
Although the Pandaboard should be able to do 1080p HDMI, my main issue is not packet loss, it is the periodic spurt of the loss of round 10 frames around every 10 seconds.
Since data is being consumed at a smaller number of frames per second than required, the buffer gets filled up. This seems to trigger a sudden flush of the buffer resulting in a large number of frames being lost in a very short period of time.
I am happy to help debug this issue but I am totally unfamiliar with the code. So any hints on where to look will be useful. I am also happy to provide logs if this will be useful (just need to know how to do this).
Thanks guys for the effort,much appreciated.
