Hi! @jwalds did yo mange to make hw decoding work with cedrus? (Note: you initially wrote cedar_ve, that's a different driver) I'm fighting with a nanopi duo2. If it works at your end I'd like to know your setup kernel version armbianEnv.txt whatelse has been installed, how could you please provide your dts / dto ? T.

Hi,any plans of porting Armbian to Ugoos AM9 s905x5 soc?

Hi again! Im not using X11, i am using direct frambebuffer. But i'm quite sure the output is not the root cause as output to null also doesnt work So for testing there is no need for SPI LCD ffmpeg -hwaccel drm -i Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4 -f null - @robertoj Maybe you can test this above and watch the framerate. if that achieves the 30fps run again with trace ffmpeg -v trace -hwaccel drm -i Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4 -f null - and provide me the console output? also tested again mpv just with the input file and debug output (but this time not the specific v4l request thread) mpv Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4 --msg-level=vd=v,vo=v,vo/gpu/vaapi-egl=trace ... ... [vd] No hardware decoding requested. [vd] Using software decoding. [vd] Detected 4 logical cores. [vd] Requesting 5 threads for decoding.

That sounds very interesting. Where can I read more about this? @m11k I hope you are still active in this forum.

What's wrong with just using the curl command? It will upload the logs to one of our paste servers and it will be nicely formatted and colorful. Way easier to read.
