Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need the cinema plugin again.
But what about the battery life? Is it better than in 2.3.26?

I knew that Gen8v2 was ours.
Wi-Fi: fix unit rebooting in loop sometimes when waking up from suspend leaving Wi-Fi on in nomadic situations
That's what I've been waiting for.

REMIX OS - Best video player, best settings

Hi all. Been using Remix OS on the MOJO and loving it, but having some issues with media file playback. I usually use SPMC but I can't seem to set it so that that playback is smooth. I'm getting judders and stutters here and there, most noticeable (but not exclusively) on PAL 50Hz content and when the camera pans. Is there a different media player I should try, or what would the optimum settings be for the MOJO to produce smooth playback? I only have a fairly standard Samsung LE32C450. Thanks all.
NVM, I appear to have resolved it. I've had to set sync playback to display and sync to refresh rate on, and also always enable vsync. Never had to do this on previous versions, but the latest SPMC seems to need it. Playback fixed either way.
EDIT: Posting up my settings as I do indeed appear to have resolved the playback issue across all types of content, not just 50Hz PAL stuff. All video was rather juddery, but no more. Very pleased Anyway, maybe this could help someone else with the same issues:
Enable Expert settings within the SPMC menus.
1. Switch off Mediacodec (Surface) in Acceleration, leaving just default Mediacodec on
2. Set Vertical Blank sync to always enabled
3. Sync display to refresh rate - on
4. Adjust display refresh - always
Then when playing a file, go to the video options:
5. Switch Deinterlace off. Now you may have some files that need it on. You will have to set this to on for those files as you play them. Do not set it to auto either way. Auto seems to screw up playback.
6. Deinterlace method - Bob inverted (probably already set to this)
7. Video scaling - Bilinear (see above)
Then click to set as default for all media.
Let me know if any of this helped you or not.
EDIT 2: Please delete this thread mods, as this is no longer working for me.
