I should have by a rpi, I had a rpi1 doing video playing since 2011, until it died 2weeks ago. It's a pity that the opi pc2 can't do something that simple while it is way more powerful on paper. Thanks anyway

Good to lnow, but it doesn't sound like a short term solution

"Hello, I am trying to setup my orange pi pc2 to play video on the tv (among other things), but I must say that I am having a real hard time. Today, I restarted from this clean image: Armbian_5.40_Orangepipc2_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.15_desktop using startx+mpv I am able to play my video out of the box using software decoding... Unfortunately, if I use the full screen mode, the video is slow like hell. (without full screen it plays fine). So I suspect I need to use hardware decoding. startx /usr/bin/mpv --fs MyVideo.avi X.Org X Server 1.18.4 Release Date: 2016-07-19 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 4.4.0-97-generic aarch64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux orangepipc2 4.14.15-sunxi64 #30 SMP Tue Jan 30 17:40:12 CET 2018 aarch64 Kernel command line: root=UUID=6342048c-723e-476d-a785-c345ff4c7099 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200 panic=10 consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 ubootpart=3bd93a3c-01 usb-storage.quirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 Build Date: 13 October 2017 01:58:44PM xorg-server 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.7 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) Current version of pixman: 0.33.6 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Did anybody have some advice (or even better, a recipe) for me ? Thanks in advance for your help, Loic
