weWe just received six raspberry piRaspberry Pi boards with 512mb ram and plan to use them for hdmi playoutHDMI playback. initial

Initial tests were working great with omxplayer, but we are experiencing extreme stuttering issues for every h264 file that has a bitrate over 3mbits. after

After digging through the web, iI found that several people play 11mbit files or higher without any issues. iI am wondering if overclocking of the raspRaspberry Pi is really needed to get smooth playback or if there are any recommended encoding settings for files to play on the rasp?

ourOur current setting:

  • gpu split of 256/256
  • latest raspbian from http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianImages and upgraded with apt-get dist-upgradeapt-get dist-upgrade
  • tried with sandisk extreme pro 32GB 95mb/s cards and with standard class 10 SD cards
  • omxplayer from http://omxplayer.sconde.net/ Build date: 23/10/2012 01:40 CEST
  • omxplayer started from the console with audio passthrough; also tried with videoclips that have no audio track at all

here is one of the videos we are trying to play http://artisticbokeh.com/videotest/miasma/teaser_temp.mp4Here is one of the videos we are trying to play.

alsoAlso, we tried with various smaller bitrates. exceptExcept for h.264 ecodedencoded in vbr with 3mbits all the videos stutter. example

example videos that we want to play are on videovimeo and on youtube:

thanks for any help on how to get omxplayer to play decent video bitrates!
