Hi, I just put a MediaView with a MediaPlayer into a FlowPane and displayed it. Playing a Full-HD H.264 file consumes between 40 and 60% of CPU. Playing the same file in Quicktime consumes about 3-4% CPU. What is the reason for the dramatic difference? Is the player subsystem not using hardware acceleration for decoding h.264? Is it something else intrinsic to MediaPlayer oder MediaView? I thought 8u40's media support was build on top of the AVFoundation framework and thus could compete with native players. Can I set a flag to force hardware acceleration? Is something being done about this? I am a bit worried that an application built on top of this would just eat up our users' battery like crazy.
Best regards, Robert
