Tabsik Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hello, I managed to run OPi as a media player using OpenELEC (works charmingly fast - much much better than on RasPi), bun on Armbian (legacy kernel - 3.4.113) something went not too good Firsty, I burn desktop Xenial image onto SD card, dropped into Orange, and everything worked fine besides sound via HDMI - even locally played MP3 files were stuttering, not mentioning Youtube in Chromium - CPU usage was in range of 30-40 percent. Sound in TV speakers were annoying- one second of music, long pause, repeated until I press stop button. So I gave up with Xenial, write a Jessie server image (also legacy kernel), installed XFCE with all recommended packages (including PulseAudio), managed volume controls to switch to HDMI sound output, getting the same behavior Anyone had a similar experiences about sound on Allwinner H3 devices? Thanks in advance to all replies, T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Audio & video playing with mpv player should be fine, while there is no media / web acceleration within any web browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
