Having heard a lot about the Raspberry Pi I got myself a pair. They're very nice things, but one thing drives me mad: They suck for Video playback. Having tried mplayer, vlc, XMMS and basically everything I get with apt-cache search video | grep player I am out of ideas.
A static picture with stuttering sound is not exactly what I consider useful, especially not from such lowly formats as a VCD compliant MPEG1 or a DVD compliant MPEG2 stream. Is there any player that makes proper use of the hardware? I read its capable of doing HD playback, but maybe it needs some very low compressed video format for that? I'm using Raspian with armhf kernel, which I think should do the job better than a softfloat armel kernel.
