Poor Performance #83

Closed krajni closed 7 years ago

krajni commented 7 years ago

First of all Thanks for your time and effort that you spent with this project. Unfortunately all the Videos I tested on a Raspi 3 had not a good performance. The Videos stutter a lot and are not nice to look at. I tried various Resolutions (1080,720,480) but all of them were stuttering. I also tried both Python 2 and 3 but both have that Issue. Is everyone else having that same problem? The Videos are played without stuttering when OMXPlayer is started directly from Terminal.

Weird, I have a same good performance as omx cli. So maybe you need to check come other thing. How many MB you split to memory for the GPU?

krajni commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply. 128 MB are reserved for GPU.

And the code isn't fancy either. I'm just testing the performance right now with: from omxplayer import OMXPlayer

player = OMXPlayer("/home/pi/signage/test.mov") player.play()

I'm using RaspbianLite with matchbox-window-manager and 256Mb GPU. What about if use mp4 instead of mov?

krajni commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the hint. Just tried mp4: Same result. And also upgraded first to 256MB and then to 512, but still not getting a better result. I will try with a fresh OS.

Do you get stuttering performance under omxplayer on the cli, if so then the bug resides in your setup or in omxplayer and not this wrapper.

Closing unless someone can reproduce with a minimal working example.
