I am running a Minix Neo X7 media player

I have flashed the ROM to get the latest Minix 1080 firmware

Using the Finless 1,7 versions

Initial impressions were good but the pan shots were a little jerky

Any thoughts on whether to over-clock the CPU or GPU or memory??

I first tried the GPU option but the pans were still jerky, the memory over clock to 667 seems to have done the job

but still testing.

I am interested to hear if any other members have tried this?

I did make sure that MX Player Pro (my choice of player) is set to use all 4 cpu

It was default, whatever that means.

BTW none of this is for the fainthearted

Over clocking can kill any computer.

Pan movements will always be jerky, it is not because of underclocked cpu, it is because of 24/30 fps video recording and cmos sensor used in camera / dslr.

1080p decoding does not rely on software decoding unless you set it so. Video is decoded by VPU, not GPU.

I heard minix removed 1080p kernel firmware of latest one because of performance issues. You can try 720p kernel and watch movies @ 720p upscaled to 1080p (so 720p in real).

These devices can never replace a real deal media player (Popcorn, Realtek chipset based devices etc) or an actual HTPC.
