Raspberry 1B - slow cursor/navigating when viewing channels/videos

1st Official Post

    Hi.

    When viewing a video/iptv channel, the cursor works like 2/3 fps and navigating is quite slow, while the video doesnt have any drop in framerate.

    Stopping the video, navigation is fluid.

    Fullscreen using IPTV

    FPS - 8 FPS (i think video framerate is much higher than this)

    CPU - 35%

    I understand rasp 1B is quite outdated hardware..but if the CPU doesnt hit 100% why navigating isn'it more fluid when viewing videos?

    Also when it´s idle, the cpu usage never drops 30%..even in a fresh install of libreelec.

    Tried with confluence (faster), also a mod to remove animations from themes.

    Using overclock (1000,500,500,6)


    Thanks.

    It's a GPU thing, not CPU. The GPU provides hardware acceleration for video playback. On the other hand, the GPU has to work hard (non-accelerated) when displaying EGL graphics, which is used by the GUI. I think your RPi is responding normally.

    This is normal, GUI update is limited to 10fps on RPi1 to avoid video playback stuttering when the GUI (or an overlay) is displayed.

    You can change that in Settings->Player, "Limit GUI updates when playing video" (change level to advanced or expert to see it).

    so long,
