  • Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

    XBMC didn’t have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

    Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

    The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.




  • Raspberry, seriously? What problems are you seeing?

    I have a raspberry pi 3 acting as a 5GHz access point for as long as it’s been on the market, I can remember one time I had to restart it because of some wonkiness. About a dozen others as clients, never had an issue there either, fast and stable enough.

    All using the default os (raspbian first, raspberry os later).








  • It was implied in the discussion: “if you can compile it, it will work”.

    There’s plenty of ARM processors before Cortex. There’s SPARC. And there’s a crapton of others with their quirks.

    Just because you can compile a program from source, it doesn’t guarantee it will work. As mentioned: online assembly, memory alignment, but you can add endianness or questionable pointer arithmetic, not to mention dynamic runtime code generation. And I’m sure there’s 5 other reasons that I haven’t personally run into.

    Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would write bug-free, platform-independent code, alas…
