Hello all,
I have a wonderful ION set top box running XBMC and playing 1080p like a charm.
I use it as well to play TV streams (using RTSP) from my ISP. And I noticed that, while HD stream play very fine (they are decoded using h264_vdpau), SD streams are (according to XBMC) played using libmpeg2. It results in one of my 4 cores (Atom330) being fully loaded (while the others are not at all) and a lot of dropped frames.
I guess that's the fact I ask XBMC to upscale whenever playing SD content doesn't help my case, but I was wondering if there was anything to do? Either load balancing on several cores or using VDPAU to give an hand to the Atom?
Thanks a lot!
Gurney
