VLC on Ipad simulator screen stuck, computer too slow error

[linked]

Hi,

I have a testing app working fine on iphone simulator and real device but on Ipad simulator, the screen is stuck.
I can hear the sound in backgroud of the movie but the picture only display once, probably the first frame, and no more refresh.

Is there something special to do in the vlc init part (or somewhere else) to make it compatible with ipad or is it a know issue on simulator ?

I have no real ipad, i can't say if it's only on simulator or not.

Edit:
With the log enabled, i have found why:
avcodec decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)

I have a core I5, i can't think my computer is too slow, is there a way to speed up the decoder ?

Try to use an iPad 2 simulator instead of a retina.

It's effectively working on a non retina ipad simulator. I suppose it's because there is no hardware acceleration support and too many pixels on screen.

Will the new IOS 8 videotoolbox framework be used to boost the process in some update ? or in nighlty builds soon ?

Yes, the code for that is almost done
