Did any one tried playing videos on VlC media player ???

Hi fellow contestants,

 

Have any one of you tried playing video files VLC media player, I tried the video was very laggy, it was only a 360p video,

the other thing is that Wolfson Audio card doesn't work smoothly, and raspberry pi hangs form time to time, i did some research and found that Wolfson Audio card requires a class 6 or higher memory card, the one provided to us was a class 4 card.


And is there any way to get the Wolfson audio card working with RaspBMC, Because playing media content on Raspbian is really not that easy as very less time is left and there is almost no support, documentation for the Wolfson Audio card so it took me time to find out that it requires a class 6 or higher card, what type of card are you guys using ??

 

There Is also a over heating problem with my raspberry pi  are you also facing something like this ??

    I am facing some similar problems with wolfson card.I dont think its compulsory to use class 6 or higher sd card.(this is only required for high quality audio).

    But the problem is the instability of Raspberry Pi as you mentioned.

    And as far as Vlc is concerned you can opt for other players as vlc is not hardware accelerated.

    Hi Saurabh,

    Yes,my Pi with Wolfson card also freezes ,sometimes display to rca connected screen goes out after some time,usb devices stops working leaving only the option to go for hard reboot.

    But sometimes it works fine.

    You can use mpg player (mpg123) or mplayer.Both of these do play videos.

    Not sure if those are h/w accelerated but omxplayer definitely is.

    I still suspect PSU or the USB cable connected to the PSU issues, was this a power supply with USB cable from Element14, or your own? If it is your own, is it from a smartphone or from a non-smartphone? Older PSUs for smaller phones will not have the power to support the combination possibly.
