Fixed video stuttering on Pi4 players

Some uploaded videos played back as a slideshow-like stutter, as low as 0.7 frames per second, specifically on Raspberry Pi 4 based Screenly Players. The Pi4’s hardware video decoder was rejecting these videos over missing color information and falling back to a much slower software decoder. Affected videos are now corrected automatically during processing, so newly uploaded videos play back smoothly.

Improvements

  • Dashboard blog feed thumbnails no longer look stretched or distorted.
  • Corrected a capitalization inconsistency (“Websocket” to “WebSocket”) in the screen details panel.
