Problems with VLC - Chronic Frame Dropping and Tearing

[MrSIZEMIK]

I've been running ARMbian on my "H96 Max" for 36 hrs now, ha

 

in VLC, i have noticed that if i play the 720 in the native default window, and don't maximize it, it plays perfect with no dropped frames, but it still tears now and then !!. it's because the video does not have to be rescaled. So obviously, the problem is that Hardware Decoding will not work with VLC, and that VLC and ARMbian are just not optimized and not up to the job !!. I have heard that with my "H96 Max"ARM and almost any other SoCs, that they can just not handle the task in ARMbian and in general, , , i was suprized to see the 4 CPU's run a 50% !!, i expected it to be no more than 10

 

If you can get it to work 4K on crappy ARM based Android LINUX, then it's not the SBC hardware, , its ARMbian !!

 

So the main problem is that HVA is not fully supported in my Armbian, and SVA is not working as it should, so a problem with ARMbian again, , , I have been a Computer Technician since 1997 and have seen SVA work perfect on a a lot lesser system, , , , ,Hmmmm, , my 4 Core ARM based "4K fire tv stick max" is a joy to use !!, , , will have to look at the look at its ARM SoCs, especially its GPU
