RPi and video playback
« on: April 12, 2020, 05:12:36 pm »
When I try to play a video (either avi or m4v),even a 3 second video, on my RPi, all I get is a green screen. I have seen some earlier statements that the rpi/JRiver configuration doesn't run video's. Is this correct?

The Pi version will play video.  Just not heavy duty files (4K, for example).

A green screen may be a video driver problem.

Actually video is not supported on the RaspberryPi  yet because of the limitations of the OpenGL driver on the Pi which require some reworking of our video code.

I thought that was the case. Thanks for the confirmation.
