Smallish steps. A first official info-beamer pi for the Pi4 prerelease is now available on the [info-beamer pi download page](https://info-beamer.com/download/player). A few things that don’t work right now: - GL videos (those that you can scale/rotate/transform arbitrarily) are still not possible. - I’m still now sure how all the 4K stuff and targeting multiple monitors work. - There’s some screen tearing ([see this example picture](https://cdn.infobeamer.com/s/img/tearing.jpg)) going on. Not sure why. - Some GL operations are _slower_ on the Pi4. My guess is that the new GL driver is still rather untested and there’s a lot that will improve in the future. - No 4K/H265 video support. Documentation on all of that (e.g. linux DRM/GBM/mmal/how to play H265) is utter garbage, so it’s continuing to be a slow progress due to a lot of trial and error and waiting on more usable example code or documentation. It’s all quite frustrating. A new info-beamer hosted OS using buster and this new info-beamer pi release will eventually be available for testing. Don’t expect that to be usable in any kind of production environment for a while though. The recommendation to use the battle tested Pi3 still stands 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/raspberry-pi-4-release-and-info-beamer-information/565)._
