Plugin: Plasma on 5.5g 30gb
« on: October 02, 2008, 12:13:15 AM »
Has the plasma plugin ever worked properly or is it just my iPod.

Whenever launch the plugin it runs really slowly, is this my iPod or just a problem with the 30gb video port?

It sounds like it's just the fact that it's a much bigger screen with the same speed processor. It basically needs to draw 3 times as many pixels, so I wouldn't be surprised if it appeared slower.

I thought that might be the problem.

Though i thought that rockbox would take advantage of the video chip inside the iPod 5g.

That might only be for video decoding though

Rockbox cannot use the Broadcom chip. There is no documentation for it.
