State of Video Playback on Linux

(1/5) > >>

Hendrik:
Hey guys,

as of Media Center 20.0.13, we offer Video Playback in the Linux version.

Please be aware that the Video support is still under active development, and the experience may be quite rough in the beginning.
Basic features are going to come first, and more advanced features will take a while longer to be available in MC20, however our goal is  to provide a decent video playback experience in the lifetime of MC20.

What does work?
- Importing videos
- Sharing videos over library server
- Playing local videos & videos from other library servers
- Switching audio streams
- Transcoding/Video Conversion

What does NOT work yet?
- Hardware accelerated decoding
- Detached display
- Subtitles
- .... and much more than I could possibly list here

We'll include any new features in the version notes, so keep on the lookout for any video improvements over the next weeks and months.

NB: The list is (usually) up to date to the most recent MC version, and not all features may be available in earlier versions.

Matt:
Great work getting this far.  A big thanks from everyone on the team.

Mike Noe:
Quick hitters...

- Ctrl+s or stop button or changing video while playing causes seg fault
- dual mon support (seems to default FS playback to primary, regardless of which "screen" the MC main window resides)

Hendrik:
Stopping works fine here, and multi-monitor is waaaay down in the list, sorry.

Hi Hendrik,

Any idea when language / audio track selection will be available?

Cheers,

j.
