Guest Rem1x Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?5997-How-to-get-rid-of-our-RK3188-device-aka-is-there-life-after-rockchip I've been looking around for information on the RK3188 and it seems like people are very unhappy with the video performance. Anyone suffering from this?
Guest Grumpydev Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 I played a few things with XBMC via wifi (720p) with no issues - it's pushed heavily as a video device, so I would be surprised if it sucked that badly for video.
Guest Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I installed Xbmc, and played 720p h.264 encoded video, encoded roughly at 1.5GB per hour (sorry not sure the bit rate) over. SAMBA/CIFS share without any trouble? Edited October 2, 2013 by Guest
Guest Rem1x Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Good to hear :) Would be interesting to hear how it copes with 1080 (that said, I'll have mine tomorrow, so I'll give it a bash)
Guest Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Good to hear :) Would be interesting to hear how it copes with 1080 (that said, I'll have mine tomorrow, so I'll give it a bash) a lot of dropped frames on 1080p unfortunately (lower bitrate than my 720p file however, so i know its not a wifi bandwidth issue) im assuming the downscaling is GPU intensive? Watchable but only just
Guest Grumpydev Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 I assume you're using the XBMC nightlies? The stable version won't have hardware acceleration. When I played the 720p with the debug log on, the CPU cores were doing pretty much nothing.. Which is nice :-)
Guest Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Hi mate.. No I'm on 12.2.. I'm don't follow Xbmc's development as much as I should, has there been some sort of major optimisation since the last stable? Cheers
Guest Grumpydev Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah, the current stable won't be using hardware acceleration, just software decoding - grab the latest nightly and throw that on. Mine went from virtually maxing out the CPU cores to the CPU doing next to nothing :)
Guest Grumpydev Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 Rooted mine and installed a fullscreen app - this is mine playing a 720p h264 DTS video over wifi .. ignore the exit box, couldn't get it to take a screenshot without XBMC thinking I wanted to quit :)
Guest Rem1x Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 Gave a 1080 video a shot via MX Player. Quite a few dropped frames. Not salvageable, I suppose. 720 was perfect though :)
Guest Grumpydev Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 I can't get it to play 1080p either in XBMC, although the CPUs are still sat at 0% and the GPU isn't *that* bad .. might be a memory bandwidth issue, or something that can be fixed with some optimisation. My iPad mini plays the 1080p birds stress test in xbmc without missing a beat, and that's pretty naff spec wise.
