Is it possible?

Post by MarcoReed »

Hi there, is it possible to optimize the water codec for seamless video playback on Raspberry Pi 4 at a resolution of 1920x1080 in fullscreen mode without any lag? Additionally, the video playback is causing the temperature to rise to 86 degrees. Finding a solution is crucial, as the Raspberry Pi can handle up to 4K resolution on its own. It would be ideal to ensure smooth playback at 1080p through wtware.

Cheap TV box on Android will play video at a resolution of 1920x1080 in fullscreen mode without any lag. And in 4K too.

Windows or Linux computer will play 4K locally.

WTware has local chromium and local VNC to play video locally:

With RDP, video will be much more expensive and always worse.

To play video over RDP, Windows Server decode video into memory. If you see 60FPS in video player in mstsc.exe, it's 60 frames decoded into memory on server. Not displayed on terminal screen. I have never seen more than 15FPS on client screen over RDP neither in mstsc.exe nor in wtware.

And then Windows Server encodes video into the format that RDP can handle. Lossy encoding always makes video worse. Encoding heavily uses server CPU. Graphic acceleration this time only works if server runs on bare hardware, not in virtual machine.
