Olivier, I finally had a chance to test this and I get about 180% cpu time on elisa when playing a 1080p movie (Wall-E) but with gst-launch I only get about 80%. In gst-launch it plays smooth and nice but in Elisa is skips frames when there's a lot of movement.
Anything else I can do to help the troubleshooting? The measurement is when the scanning is complete so I don't think thats causing it, unless it does something when it's not scanning. I didn't try to kill the slave processes. Thanks, /Hakan -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Tilloy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 9:48 AM To: Hakan Lindestaf Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elisa] What do I need for 1080P playback Hello Hakan, Does playing the same video file in an other gstreamer based player (like totem) produce the same result, or does it play fine? Can also try playing the same video with gst-launch? In a terminal, type: gst-launch -v playbin uri=file:///full/path/to/media/file Let us know what the results are.
