General infomration

When playing more than 480p on a raspberry pi 3+ running at 1,4ghz (temperature 34C) it is unable to show the video. Audio is played correctly. Cpu load is of 1,4.

Prerequisites

Description

I thought the pi 3 was not powerful enough to decode 1080p so switching to 720p should work. But this is not the case. I have 256mb gpu memory defined. Changing is to 320 did not make a difference

Steps to Reproduce

On a Rsaspberry pi 3+ Inputstream settings: max resolution both 720p, others to default

plugin settings in expert tab: dolby, hevc, vp9 off

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen] Regarding the cpu load, and settings I expected the 720p content to be played without issues

Actual behavior: [What actually happened] video stopped, audio played without issues. Turning it back to 480p solved the ssue

GPU is not the bottlneck, its CPU! But your issue is not related to the addon, so you will most likely not get any qualified feedback here. Your issue should be placed at LibreELEC forum.

try manual stream selection and go from basic resolution to 720...

It is not a Netflix Addon Issue, it is codec related issue, since it is software based, Widevine is the responsabñe for that behaivor...I have RPi2 B+ and RPi 3 B+, both works great on 720p... but I had some issues when I start using it, and it was power related , so I used a 2.5 Amps charger to slve the issue on RPi2 and when I bought Rpi3, I bought PoE hat, so power is not an issue (It has some other issues with USB ports, but, Netflix works great)
