Raspberry pi 4 media center os 1080p#

Is there something I can try or just better scrap this BS board and set up normal PC? This is extremely disappointing as my simple usecase is widely advertised on Internet as viable Raspberry Pi usage that is not working IRL and makes me regret spending money on this setup. UPDATE: seems like indeed lowering GPU ram partition solves the problem. However system becomes slower overall after several days of uptime, so I put cron task to reboot every day at night and this solves the problem, thank you everyone for advices! 256 leads to stutters in Kodi from time to time, but 384 gets me smooth playback.

I ran a PI4 4GB as a media center on Raspbian after it came out, mostly just playing back video files pre-loaded onto the 32GB CF card, not a lot of shuffling - worked fine, but eventually I upgraded to a 128GB CF card to hold more media and when I did that I switched OS to LibreElec - it just works better for our primary use case: playing music and videos in a kid's bedroom with a little bluetooth keyboard/trackpad controller.

I used to remote in to the Raspbian desktop using VNC once in a while, but not enough to worry about the fact that VNC is much less reliable in LibreElec.īy the way, I also run LibreElec on a Pi Zero with pre-loaded videos on the CF card, playing at 1080p the video/audio is totally smooth - but even playing audio only if it isn't sufficiently cooled I'll get bluetooth dropouts on the Pi Zero sometimes.
