If they are unprotected you can rename them to .mp4 Quote:I also tried to find the raspi-config so that i may increase the graphics share but didnt find. Please use xbian-config RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 2nd Apr, 2016 04:46 AM Renaming Didn't work. as i said video plays but it clips. also cant find the raspi-config in my Xbian RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - Nachteule - 2nd Apr, 2016 07:59 AM (2nd Apr, 2016 04:46 AM)onlyindian Wrote: Renaming Didn't work. you did not said this btw, what do you mean exactly with 'clips' Quote:also cant find the raspi-config in my Xbian You'll never find raspi-config on XBian. As I said, please use xbian-config RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 2nd Apr, 2016 06:56 PM By clips i mean during playback first it plays first few frames then stops and then goes in reverse and then again plays and again reverse. Also the play is very slow even audio. Quote:You'll never find raspi-config on XBian. sorry didn't read that line. Tried that but didn't saw any setting where i may change the GPU share. will increasing the GPU share help me any help is really appreciated. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - IriDium - 2nd Apr, 2016 07:58 PM Can you post the output of /boot/config.txt Also, if possible one of the m4v files on something like dropbox or gdrive so we can test the playback. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 2nd Apr, 2016 08:18 PM Following is the contents of the /boot/config.txt Terminal root@xbian:/home/xbian# cat /boot/config.txt #initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000 gpu_mem_1024=256 gpu_mem_512=144 gpu_mem_256=100 initial_turbo=3 hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 disable_overscan=1 overscan_left=4 overscan_right=4 overscan_top=4 overscan_bottom=4 disable_splash=1 dtoverlay=lirc-rpi # uncomment to force a console size.

You might download and have a look. Unable to attach the torrent file. Torrent for the m4v File from above link you can download the files. Also i searched a bit for the HEVC support and i think KODI do not support the playback. anyways i will keep searching for any solution. any help is really appreciated. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - IriDium - 2nd Apr, 2016 08:51 PM That link shows that you're trying to play HEVC or x265 encoded files. These will NOT play on a RPi1 or RPi2 (Probably not RPI3 either) You'll have to convert them to x264 first. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 2nd Apr, 2016 09:30 PM Really thank you for confirming this. Can you help me in helping to convert this. I searched a lot, but cant find any way to convert the files on raspberry pi. I have Windows 10 laptop and don't want to install any software on it. Other is raspi2. can i convert it on raspberry pi and if yes how and if no how on laptop. any help is really appreciated. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - IriDium - 2nd Apr, 2016 10:11 PM I use ffmpeg on Ubuntu. You could use ffmpeg on the pi but it would probably take weeks to decode (A 4 core i5 takes about 20 minutes to decode). Haven't tried on a RPi :-) If you want to try, I use: ffmpeg -i <input-file> -c:a copy -x265-params crf=25 <output-file.mp4> RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - Nachteule - 3rd Apr, 2016 12:01 AM I already made some tests with RPi2/RPi3 playing HEVC/h.265 videos. RPi2 (not overclocked) is not able to play 720p smoothly, sometimes it stucks. Don't ask me how 1080p are going RPi3 (not overclocked) is playing this 720p smoothly, no 1080p tested, but I suppose it does not Usually when I convert videos, I'm using Handbrake or XMedia Recode. Both using ffmpeg internally, so the command IriDium told should do the same job. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 3rd Apr, 2016 01:48 PM Thank you guys. You really helped me. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - IriDium - 3rd Apr, 2016 09:36 PM One thought - if you don't have a Micro$oft nobbled bios on your laptop, is to boot via USB/CD a live version of Ubuntu, install ffmpeg or handbrake there, do your conversions and shutdown the live image. That way you won't need to touch your Win10 setup. However, you'll have to repeat the process each time you have a bunch of files to convert. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - onlyindian - 5th Apr, 2016 10:17 PM Hey tried to convert using your command and following is the output of the command Quote:[root@localhost Friends Season 03 (1080p x265 Joy)]# ffmpeg -i Friends\ S03E01\ The\ One\ with\ the\ Princess\ Leia\ Fantasy\ \(1080p\ x265\ Joy\).m4v -c:a copy -x265-params crf=25 output/Friends_S03E01.mp4 and as you know i have little knowledge in this field, i was unable to comprehend whats going on can you please check whats wrong in here ?? any help is really appreciated. RE: m4v Video Clips during playback - Nachteule - 5th Apr, 2016 10:41 PM Quote:FFmpeg version 0.6.5, Copyright © 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developers I suppose this version is a little bit too old Tested the command syntax given by IriDium with a more recent ffmpeg works pretty well |
