I want to write a simple video playback software for Raspberry Pi that plays videos from a given path or URL.
I thought of slaving MPlayer or using VLCLib (both with Python), but I’ve read that VLC doesn’t show video on RaspberryPi and that MPlayer’s playback is unbearably slow.
I though of using MonoGame (XNA) and C#, but that seems like a bit of a stretch.
What are my options for playing High-Definition Video on a PI?
Have you looked at Gstreamer?
I can’t say I wholeheartedly recommend it as I’m currently battling with it for a similar project, but it does seem to be a very popular / widely supported system with great flexibility and modularity.
Downside – the documentation is on a par with most *nix documentation.
