hey I want to play one video using something like ofxWMFVideoPlayer or similar addon. The video it’s a dual 1920x1080 size window in full screen. I don’t have a very powered machine so I need some tips to use a good and fast addon, codec or ofAppGLFWWindow / OpenGL mode best practices.
Any help it’s appreciated.
I like https://github.com/bangnoise/ofxHapPlayer because it used the HAP coded because it does “fast decompression on modern graphics hardware”.
Thanks. It seems it’s only working on 0.8 not 0.9 under Windows…
I highly recommend ofxExtremeGpuVideo .
Of course it works on oF 0.9.8 ant platforms.
We have to convert to .gv fromat, but this repo has the converter.
I think performance is the best I’ve ever seen.
And, we can implement this addon to multi-thread loader easily!!
It’s worth a try.
That’s counter intuitive but your graphic card may be optimized for 4K playback but may not be able to handle dual hd (because it’s a weird format) so it’s also worth a shot to render the video as a 4K with the bottom black. It was literally the use case under which the ofxWMFVideoPlayer was developed for (video were in WMV or H264)
Thanks for the replies! I’ll check both tips. I am planing to get a cheap gpu card like GeForce GT 1030, to use hdmi + dvi(to hdmi)
CPU would be a modern 7400 i5 with 8Gb of Ram and ssd disk btw…
I had good luck with this
But for a current project (outside of OF) I am using h265 encoding for an 8k video file. I have a modest PC with a 1070 gpu and with media foundation (you can get this with ofxWMFVideoPlayer) I get great playback. As aboove, I would encode a 4k video as it is optimised and playback using drawSubsection. I am using non standard sizes though and media foundation is playing them back easily.
