Video with Overlays is very jerky

[philipp.hofmann 4]

Hi,

I play a video in my app and in the normal display it's absolutely okay. But if I display some information with overlays the video playback is jerky then.
How I can prevent this?
Best regards, Philipp

If you have code that is used to update the information in the overlays, try removing it temporarily, to see whether it's caused by the overlays themselves. If that improves the playback, you may want to consider executing the code in a separate thread, synchronize with the main thread when it is done, and update the overlays then.

This was my first test, but without any effect. Because of the overlay each information is rendered always again. One positive effect seems to reduce the internal image size of the icons from 224x224 to 56x56.
