Please test: Using OMXPlayer as video renderer

[fnkngrv]

@pjft I had to switch to OMX from VLC because no matter how I encode the snaps the audio is choppy and the video is very slow; almost choppy and that is even at 320*240 23.9fps or 25 or 29. I have tried MP4 and divx with the same results.

@fnkngrv Correct. I am personally a fan of OMXPlayer, even though it has its limitations.

Best of luck then.

@pjft said in Please test: Using OMXPlayer as video renderer:

The delay for the video to start is a theme setting. There has never been a "way" to adjust it other than that.

You'll likely want to edit the video view in the theme to add the delay. Add, to the video element,

<delay>2</delay>
<showSnapshotDelay>true</showSnapshotDelay>

The "2" is the number of seconds to wait.

So the current delay on the theme that I want is set to:

<delay>0.01</delay>
<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>

Perhaps that delay setting is too small for the Pi which is what is causing a much longer delay due to processing. I'll test and report back for others that may follow this thread.

@fnkngrv Yeah. That's 0.01 seconds :)

You'll need to set

<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>

to true, and add a number of seconds there - you may try 1 to start with.
