Alexander von Gluck IV 6b49a15b64 media_kit: Dynamic allocation of ChunkCache based on media
* The "default" of 3MiB wasn't enough for modern larger media
  formats, resulting in inability to play 4k video no matter
  how much horse power you threw at Haiku. (4k is ~8MiB)
* This dynamically calculates the ChunkCache based on the
  video framesize * 2.
* 4k video now plays smoothly on my Ryzen 1800x.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.
