Quote:Thanks to the experts in the forum, I finally installed XBMC on pandaboard with ubuntu 11.04 netbook version. However, I found there is no video. When I play a video file, I hear the sound but see nothing. I can't see the pictures, either. But the files are fine out of XBMC. Did anybody meet and solve this problem?Do you have any video playing in the regular "ubuntu classic" session?
@davilla:
I spend some time in testing the video performance of the panda with xbmc and it's incredible bad - with the bigbuckbunny trailer as test file:
- @1080p: <10fps
- @720p: < 15fps
- 480p: < 20fps
regards
EDIT:
Ok - I figured out that in case of playing the file in "originalsize" mode - without scaling -
the 480p one drops nearly no frame. Even the 720p one drops less frames than the 480p does with scaling the image to "normal". Even with scaling the CPU('s) don't need much power: ~ 13.1%|12.1% @720p. That way it seems really easy for the panda to play the 720p, but it drops the frames and I don't know why..
