Videoplayback: Codecs and Gif #78

Closed Trenar closed 4 years ago

Trenar commented 4 years ago

Hi all, I tested sending some videos to the frame after #69 has been fixed. I made two important observations:

  1. GIFs are not displayed at all. This is kind of trivial, since only mp4 video files are catched and gifs are thus discarded. By means of data saving, it should also be possible to send gifs. Since I have no speakers connected, I don't really need mp4 videos at all.

  2. The TeleFrame software crashes (black screen forever instead of video playback), if a mp4 video has the h.265 codec instead of h.264. By now I don't really know if this is related to raspbian, the renderer or something else. Just wanted to mention. Maybe we should add a check for the right codec before playing the video.
