chewitt , a thorough and informative response as ever, Thank you Sir!

Not sure if this is the place for this but SCRIPTS/addons that Kodi uses (Files...)

Will these run well on Rock/Librea distros I assume most of these use Python so should just "work" ??

Noticed an ODD Playback Speed (very slight) Change on certain movement scenes on MPEG2 video.

"work in progress" - Just a question on that and its libreelec one really.

Who is working on it for Rockchip? one man a team .... I mean for the PI 2/3 releases they just kept getting better and better but assume there are a lot of people using Pi's so could the ROCKCHIP support drop off I mean ?

I know V4L will normalise devs but will that "simply" work across all builds ?

chewitt - "work in progress" - understand completely and for a Alpha release its is functionally 98% imho

"The RPi does not do every video with hardware decoding." I think its was true for MPEG (h262) only - MPEG-2 license key - Raspberry Pi Store

mo123,

Thanks ... so there are no longer settings for Deinterlacing ? I mean it seems like it is doing a decent job and I always left the pi on AUTO (Half blob and the others) anyway but I only did this on media that needed it .. so does teh RK3399 auto detect if it needs to Deinterlace ??

1 Takes a good 50 seconds to boot ??

2. Stopping a playing video hangs for around 5 seconds ??

Klojum - ok ... so does the Rick Pi 4 then ?

So couple of findings so far :

1 Takes a good 50 seconds to boot

2. Stopping a playing video hangs for around 5 seconds

3. Bookmarks creation forces video out of sync (Rock Pi4 and Bookmarks)

4. Deinterlacing settings seems to be greyed out ?

5. I know Raspberry PI used to use hardware for video decoding with Liebre will Rock Pi 4 have its own HW Video decoding ?

Jaco_b · Rock Pi4 and Bookmarks Jaco_b March 11, 2019 at 9:54 AM

Noticed when playing video If I try to add a bookmark a chapter the system hangs slightly the video and audio gets out of sync .. once that menu is closed it seems to all catch up.

Just odd with the spec of the kit I didn't expect it to suffer, oddly enough my old Pi 3 copes fines.

Got 4GB Rock pi 4 running - LibreELEC (Leia) 9.0.1 MR

Also pressing STOP on a video seems to take a couple of seconds to stop the video ???

Jaco_b · RockPi4 support? Jaco_b February 19, 2019 at 4:27 PM

How about :

How about photo display ? 20MP photos are they snappy ?

Gapless Flac and Mp3 ok ?

Jaco_b · RockPi4 support? Jaco_b February 19, 2019 at 11:53 AM

@count00zero

Whats the performance like then ? Comparing to say the PI ?

Does it handle 4K ?

VOB (Mpeg 2) ok ?

Normal Dobly Passthrough ok ?

Gapless Flac and Mp3 ok ?

How about photo display ? 20MP photos are they snappy ?
