Has anyone else been able to confirm both HD and bluetooth working via this route? VLC seems to work but only low resolution video (streaming from youtube for example) since google crippled whatever functionality (apparently) was working well for full HD some years ago. I'm also sceptical as to whether I can expect HD resolution with this option. I have tried the 'minimal kiosk browser' instead of chromium or firefox but have not been able to get bluetooth audio working with it. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a work-around for this issue? For serious video playback, use Kodi (in LibreElec) as that double buffers. We won't be spending the years of work required to make X double buffered.
#Raspbian causing screenflick er windows#
This is due to the X windows system not being double buffered, so screen updates can happen during display updates, giving rise to tearing. Sadly, I think this is to be expected (if it is the tearing I mentioned above). I will try to record a video this evening of the flicker issue. (if LibreELEC plays the videos correctly, then surely it isn't a HDMI cable issue?) Micro HDMI cable - I'm not sure where my original cable came from, but i bought one from Amazon recently. Windowed/Fullscreen mode - i get the same flickering issue regardless PSU - using the official Power Supply for RPI4, from the PiHut website.Ĭonfig.txt - I've made no changes to this.īrowser - I'm using Chrome, the default browser that came with Raspbian. I had the same issue with my previous RPI4, when using NOOBS_v3_1_1.

OS - I'm currently using Raspbian (downloaded from NOOBS_v3_2_0). The issue is still there with Raspbian though I've had some slight success since last night - i decided to give LibreELEC a go, and it plays Youtube videos fine (using the add-on), and other videos from my USB stick - with NO annoying flicker. (even if i run the youtube video at 360p).įirstly, thank you for taking the time to write back - i appreciate it Even when a youtube video is playing in windowed mode, i can still see the flicker. I have tried to change the resolution of the desktop screen, from 1080 to 720, and still have the same issue. As previously, i have tried two different Micro HDMI cables, and two different TV's. I set it up, and it has exactly the same annoying flickering issue. So, i ordered another - and i received my second RPI4 today. There response was "We should not see there being an issue if you order another new Raspberry Pi 4." to be able to play YouTube videos correctly?". Whilst emailing them i asked "If you issue me a refund, and I buy another new Raspberry Pi 4, will it be able to work as advertised? E.g. I was disappointed by this, contacted Customer Services who promptly responded, and sent back my RPI4 for a refund. It doesn't flicker like crazy, i can still see the image, but its distracting. Youtube or Kodi, there is an annoying flicker. It all appeared to work fine, booted fine etc - But, during video playback, e.g. Before i start, I am a first time user of the Raspberry PI (never owned any of the previous models), and am sorry if my post doesn't make sense.Ī few weeks ago I purchased my first RPI4.
