Video playback through a simple MediaPlayerElement UWP control to play a video file from local storage results in very choppy playback. At 1920x1080, the video will barely render and at 640x480 it is still too choppy to be useful.
Is this expected or does it sound like I have a problem with my environment?
According to this and this GPU acceleration is not available on Windows 10 IoT for RPi :(
Might want to consider using raspbian if possible. If you find the playback is still choppy on Raspbian for FullHD, You could try increasing the amount of memory allocated to the GPU using raspi-config and checking if that improves the performance.
the following commands should tell you how much is currently allocated
vcgencmd get_mem armvcgencmd get_mem gpu
