Stremio

[rmeli]

Hi,
I'm new to the RPI 4 (4GB) and I'm enjoying experimenting with it. It would be great to use Stremio (https://www.stremio.com/) on it, but so far I did not manage to make it work...

I started with Ubuntu Server 20.04 LST and used desktopify (https://github.com/wimpysworld/desktopify) to install the MATE desktop. Everything is working well. I then installed Stremio following the official README (https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-shel ... /DEBIAN.md). Again, everything worked flawlessly and I was able to fire up the application.

Unfortunately, the video output is very laggy and all the processors are working at 100%. I'd say that Stremio is not using hardware acceleration. Stremio seems to use VLC (but I'm not entirely sure...), which I installed using

Code: Select all

sudo apt install vlc

I tried to manually enable hardware acceleration for VLC (https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/rpi ... ation.html) but nothing changed. (The same procedure seems to be used by desktopify in order to add hardware acceleration to Firefox.)

Do you have any suggestion on how to enable hardware acceleration in order to have Stremio working flawlessly? Is it at all possible?
