If your trying to build a video kiosk using a RasperryPi 3 guess what, you can’t and trust me I tried. I stumbled upon the Odroid-C2 and my whole life changed…
To build a 1080p capable video kiosk simply follow the outlined steps below.
- Download VideoJS (Open Source Javascript HTML5 Player)
- HTML5 Video (.mp4)
- Encode your Video at 24/25 fps or at a max of 6Mbps stream, ideally 5Mpbs.
I tested multiple in-browser video players and VideoJS outperformed all. I was able to get movies like The Matrix to play very smooth at even the most GPU intensive scenes. For more information about other methods used or to view the odroid forum thread that dealt with this issue visit here.
