Falcon Pi Player / Re: V2 Sparse: Zstd versus Uncompressed
« on: January 31, 2021, 11:29:28 PM »
The PiZero and very old Pi's also might consider the uncompressed. I'm still on the fence on this. For my testing of using a hat to drive some pixels, the zstd is fine. But I have some reports where there have been some lagging and I'm not sure if it's a config issue or not enough CPU for zstd or crappy SD card (where uncompressed would make it worse) or what.
I use a few PiZeros in my more remote self-contained props and have not seen any noticeable lag with zstd. I did upload uncompressed while debugging - I couldn't see any differences between compressed and uncompressed. Given these PiZeros drive only a few channels each, uploading zstd files is lightning fast. I'd tolerate a few milliseconds delay just to take advantage of that
