RE: m4v Video Clips during playback
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.

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
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. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

By default it will be display's size minus # overscan. #framebuffer_width=1920 #framebuffer_height=1080 root@xbian:/home/xbian# I downloaded them from torrent and it has a label: Quote:A x265/HEVC Player is a REQUIREMENT for this Torrent! i am attaching the torrent file. 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
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. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

RE: m4v Video Clips during playback
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
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> Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

RE: m4v Video Clips during playback
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
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.

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 |
