Any way to get ~24 fps video playback on the Ipod Video 5.5 gen?

<< < (2/2)

robin0800:
We don't use the video chip yet in rockbox (no info available) so video in the OF, will at present, always be faster.

Army:
Is there any work done into this direction? I don't really know, how difficult it might be to support this chip, but will it ever be supported? (I don't really need it, but would be a nice-to-have ;) )

LambdaCalculus:
No work has been done, as the video accelerator chip in the iPod video is an undocumented Broadcom chip (undocumented in the sense that there are no public datasheets at all).

With that said, we don't know when or if the chip will ever be supported, besides the fact that the little bit of investigation done on it reveals it to be a totally different platform architecture from the PortalPlayer chip used as the main CPU in the video IIRC.

Army:
Alright, thanks for the answer! Thinking about it a little, I came to the opinion, that it makes more sense to optimize the things already supported, for example increase battery life etc.
