@mykle1 ah no I mean in general. I wanted to drop windows already for months ;) But since I need the CAD software I can’t lol maybe I will go over to linux and put windows into a VM just for CAD Software

Well today I got a pi b+ into my hands and tested it right away. Well sadly there is no improvement at all. The video still runs smooth which I expected, however there is still 83% cpu load while playing it. Will give it a cooler and do not show it a lot of the time anyways so I guess I should be fine anyways
-
Were you expecting the Pi to perform like a desktop or laptop board? That’s just crazy. ;-)
-
@Mykle1 well your desktop has a gpu but a not a better cpu and ram is not used ;)
And yes expected a slightly better performance given the 17% more cpu speed. However I will just stop playing video files in electron which kills my cpu (83%).
So I tried I different way to show the video. I used magic mirror like I would normalways but the video I did not show in electron, but opened omxplayer to blend the video in.
I tested using top. It shows cpu usage for all cores so don’t wonder about numbers over 100%With the video on electron using a magic mirror module my cpu usage was at stable 250-260%. Using the omxplayer to show the video and showing the rest like I did the first time the CPU usage was different each time. It was always either in the 20% area or in the 150%. So it is a enormous improvement to the first option and makes it definetly possible to play it on a raspberry pi 3b ;)

Uhh, you lost me.

That is excellent news for those employing Hello-Lucy without the animated gif. Well done!
-
@Mykle1 Yes will create a omxplayer module for my mirror (although I am not sure wether I have the time this month)

Just making sure that Lucy works with MM v2.5.0. Also, tried using a screen capture app instead of my iphone. The screen capture app is not able to share the microphone with Lucy so this video is silent. However, the video seems nicer than a handheld iphone video.
Or, an older iphone video with audio of voice commands when Lucy was in development months ago.

@mykle1 can you tell me where to makeup the Lucy voice clip, i just want to use a generic greeting for Lucy like your me2.mp3 without the name though lol, if you could help that would be appreciated. Great work on this, love it!

Wow, umm, I don’t recall the exact site I used to make the sound files. There are several online. Try googling “text to mp3”. I used Audacity to add the robotic type sound effect. I made a bunch and, through the help of a friend, randomized them so Lucy doesn’t always say the same thing. Good fun.
