I've got a problem with my Rpi 3 on a Raspbian. I want to show some videos from internet (HTML Videos), but when I display them (they are not even in full screen), it's all jerky. It plays 2 seconds of videos, then stop, then start again etc...

I've tried to add more memory to the GPU, even more than the CPU, but it doesn't help at all. My network connexion is ok, it's the same I use on my normal computer..

I'm using Chromium by the way, and on youtube, the video is working good...

Does anyone knows what the problem could be ?

MPEG2 playback speed on the RPi can be increased by buying a license for the hardware codec. You will need to write down the serial number of your board from /proc/cpuinfo, which will be required at the time of purchase.

Disclamer: I have no means to know whether your particular video will be supported, or whether the performance boost will be significant enough to provide smooth playback.
