Well, I think at least N3DS should be able to, and maybe to use a bunch of codecs without problemTrue, if anyone plans to work on this, they should probably start with lower codecs and then work their way up, if at all.
This is a little unrelated, but after my exams finish in march, I plan to seriously study the the 3ds and try to use a raspberry pi to process video and simply stream them to the 3ds. I don't know if its possible, but I'll try it over the summer.
That's because the n3ds has hw acceleration with the mvd service, it's not available on o3dsAlthough I can just play 480P 3D Movie with N3DS browser just fine.
Is this O3DS or N3DS?Ok so today I played a bit with the audio stuff, mpeg4+mp3 should be ok ! You won't be able to have AAC at a decent speed though (the output format of the decoder isn't supported by the 3ds).
Without optimization or anything, a video with the following codecs runs at ~29fps :
Video: MPEG4 Video 400x240 25fps 939kbps [V: mpeg4 simple profile, yuv420p, 400x240, 939 kb/s]
Audio: MP3 44100Hz stereo 319kbps [A: SoundHandler (mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 319 kb/s)]
However there is no buffering or real synchronization for now. I don't expect to release anything soon. (as in, probably not before 2-3weeks).
If it did or not. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-video-player-for-3ds.586094/ is likely the better one you want to look at.Did this ever get an update with audio?
