I had some 360p video on the tablet's card and it played fine. Youtube must have changed its video compression since last year. I find it weird as I would assume it would have some simple acceleration even for some basic video formats at the time.īut even on software rendering the battery lasts for hours, and that is amazing for a 10 years old battery!Īudio formats seem to be transparent, no issues at all here. So I'm assuming this tablet has NO hardware acceleration at all. I've tried them and, even at lowest image size and quality settings, hardware acceleration fails. Thanks for the hints on the old formats, I've even forgotten they existed! I kinda got it to work enough for my needs, so I'm marking this as solved. Hi rene, and thank you so much for your reply. WinFF does give me the ffmpeg output but it has so many parameters I got lost, some of them I cannot even find any mention on the official ffmpeg documentation! (include the below -vb350k parameter!) Tried Handbrake and I have no idea of what it is passing to ffmpeg. Please help with the ffmpeg parameters, I am lost here. Or is it OK and even better to use the software decoding? How can I find the best codec and general settings for that CPU, GPU and screen resolution? Using hardware acceleration should perform better than software, no? And be gentler on the battery.
What should be the best codec for this? MP4 or webm VP8? (my webm seemed to get out of sync sometimes) I never managed to get anything working through the hardware codecs. If I download a 360p video from YouTube, the hardware acceleration does not work, only the software one, but the video is in played back in a jerky slow frame rate. From what I've researched, it supports MP4 and webm VP8. I like it because it has hardware decoding capabilities via codecs.īut I have no idea of what would be the best performing codecs for this old brick. I use MX Player for watching stuff on Android. Then I can create a bash script invoked through Nemo actions to automate the video conversion. My idea is to download the videos using yt-dlp, convert them with ffmpeg and then copy the video to the tablet's microSD card. Of course I don't connect it to the internet! (it doesn't even have the Play Store). I have no idea of it's video hardware capabilities. It doesn't even have YouTube or any other Gapps on it, so I don't know how well it can perform video wise. MX Player codec (ARMv6 VFP) version 1.7.39 Screen resolution: 800 x 480 5:3 aspect ratio All I need is smoothness and be able to read some text that might appear on some videos. My purpose is just to watch the videos once, so no fancy needs here. I have a very old tablet that was given to me years ago and I just use it to read some PDFs and now I'd like to start using it for watching videos in bed because the screen is very bright.
