oh okay. well I'll just trundle on and see what I get.
Pre-encoding files - then transfer / streaming them to the kindle doesn't seem to me that laborious...
And there is nothing preventing the setup of a real time host-side media encoder service. (Hardly rocket science - intercept request, setup ffmpeg stream (or w/e) - indicate to client stream ready. I have some one liner tcp code lying around if it comes to that.)
For me, this is about proving the K3 can play correctly encoded videos with sound in realtime. And look/sound good doing it.
Sure right now this is in it's infancy but why admit defeat just because the machine is at it's very limit. that's when it's most fun! So I shall rumble on
Thanks
