Pi is slow with internet video streaming or picture download
I find the pi slowed to a halt when viewing video on the internet such as youtube or downloading pictures. are there ways to optimize it?
Re: Pi is slow with internet video streaming or picture down
The Pi lacks processing power to render multiple images from a web page so slowness is to be expected.
As for Video playback this shouldn't be a problem the GPU does all the hard work while the CPU manages the network packets and audio streaming.
If you're experiencing choppy playback then it's possible the video player software lacks hardware video codec support and is decoding using the CPU.
What browser / setup are you using??
