I'm using my Raspberry Pi for showing full HD video on my TV and the files are on my iMac which is connected with the 10/100 Ethernet controller. I have not had any problems watching movies on my TV. Or is it something else you're talking about?
- msoad 13y agoIf decoding happens in your Mac (PLEX) then Raspberry doesn't really do anything. Raspberry can not decode a Loseless REMUX MKV from Blu-Ray in my experience. Maybe GPU can help, but I have not seen any ARM board with decent GPU like Nvidia ION.
- azernik 13y agoThe Pi is an interesting system in that it has a truly impressive GPU (according to the manufacturers "capable of BluRay quality playback"), especially compared to its bottom-shelf CPU. Which means you need everything encoded in h.264 or some other format the GPU can do, but that's achievable.

- paxswill 13y agoThe GPU in the RasPi is very good. In fact, the system should properly be viewed as a GPU with a CPU grafted onto it. It's common for 1080p24 H.264 to be decoded on it, and there are options to license MPEG2 and VC-1 accelerated decoding as well.
- johnchristopher 13y agoToo bad MPEG-2 licence on the rPi doesn't make it (yet) easily play DVD.
- jevinskie 13y agoHas anyone tried to do a timing attack on the MPEG-2 decoder license check? Is the check done in HW or a software-based hardware abstraction library?
