bizarre property of this hotel TV: when playing videos from USB, it incorrectly plays everything at 30fps, resulting in 25fps content playing at +20% speed.
presumably they didn't know how to handle non-integral frame presentation cadences, so they just clamped it to the nearest integer factor.
@gsuberland i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say i'd have hoped it was harder to fuck shit like that up in these days of kitchen sinks on chips
@dysfun they're using ffmpeg on here so you'd think it'd be fine handling that, but I'm guessing there's some restriction further down the pipeline that led them down this path. maybe they couldn't double buffer.
@gsuberland @dysfun ffmpeg isn't a presentation layer, the jank must be in whatever way it's glued to whatever UI framework they're using...
@lina @gsuberland @dysfun Joke's on all of us and they're piping a custom decoder into FFplay.
