Fantastic! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] skintt@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) What do you mean? It does 4k @ 60hz. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] elouboub@kbin.social -15 points 2 years ago* (3 children) Video? Not just screen resolution? I have a RPi3 and can't play anything above 720p. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] qjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago I'm guessing that's because you're using software decode? If you use HW decode it runs wonderfully in my experience. I could play raw 1080p h264 or VC1 Blu-ray rips over the network just fine**. You have to pay for VC1 and MPEG2 IIRC otherwise it will try to play in software which is no good. This was an rpi3 with Kodi on Raspbian. Interestingly I believe they removed MPEG2 and VC1 HW support in the 4, so those files play better on a 3 than a 4. But if your media is in h264 and you use a supported player it should work great on a 4. ** I think NFS worked best, and of course over Ethernet. Maybe http also worked (iirc samba would stutter occasionally). permalink fedilink source parent [–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* So you're comparing the new pi with one 2 generations back that runs at 1/4th the performance and assuming they work the same? permalink fedilink source parent [–] skintt@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well it isn't meant to be a gaming PC. Poor gaming performance seems an odd thing to complain about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) They're talking about playing video, not games permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] skintt@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Ah, I misunderstood. permalink fedilink source parent
