Thanks for the replies, looks like for out of box video niceness, need to wait until electron catches up.

I don’t think the PI itself is struggling. As experiment I played in full screen on PI using Chrome, and at same time had full screen on two separate monitors connected to my local PC and they all played totally fine. So sounds like Electron is needing some TLC to catch up.

I’ll mess with the OpenGL setting etc, and see how they compare.

Not sure what Category this belongs since could depend on solution, anyhoo.

So this applies to any of the modules that have embedded playback but purposes of this discussion I’m using MMM-MyVideoPlayer as I like it’s simplicity.

When starting the mirror using the standard: DISPLAY=:0 npm start the mirror starts on the connected TV (via the micro HDMI). So I assume that the default Chromium for the mirror is being used. However videos selected are very choppy.

However, if I start as a server and, on the PI itself navigate to the mirror 0.0.0.0:8080 using Chrome and select same videos, they play perfectly. This is using Chrome browser v78.0.3904.108

Does the Mirror use it’s own specific Chrome Version and can this be updated?

I’ve also updated to latest mirror v2.120
