Wow i didn't know that the vpu had an independent manufacturer. Gonna read more info about the hantro

I will add another question on the top of the last one: When stream services talk about "hardware secure codecs". What are exactly they talking about? Are those a completely different codecs?

That would be perfect, skipping shitty vendor middleware and following the standards. xD Another question: I thought codecs were "agnostic" and that the problem was more the v4l2 part but you say he is making codecs available one by one. What part must be fixed/made for each codec?

I like the "MP_ERR(ctx, "WHAT !?");" part xD

That confirms that i will never be able to join this sector, it's clearly too complex to me. WOW, BIG NEWS (i think?), it seems that Randi Li has made an adapter for v4l2<->mpp . Will this mean that any app that follows the standards will now have video acceleration??? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10789627/

I do not understand how you clarify. It's like a soup of letters, MPV, MPP, RKMPP, FFMPEG, H264,.... "failing to get the right frames in time" does it mean that was showing random frames?

About that, phh said: So rather than improving v4l2 to fill their requirements, rockhip made it's own piece of crap. Thanks to that choice we now don't have acceleration in chromium which only supports v4l2 (partially as i got told).

So much progress in a single day! I'm downloading the build and i will try to use it, got mouse+keyboard so gonna be fine i hope Im not sure about how to install an unofficial kernel but i will try by unzipping the build on root a let it replace everything it asks. Edit: i tried it and i guess failed as it does not longer boot. I replaced /boot/, /lib/ & /usr/ folder from one partition and i also applied the same files from /boot/ folder to the boot partition. When i give it power, does nothing, black screen. I noticed /boot/ folder replaces all files except "rk3288-miniarm.dtb" which is the one set in extlinux.conf. Switching from that file to rk3288-tinker.dtb throws a Kernel Panic. Maybe i'm not using the right base image (TinkerOS 2.0.8) i will try over an armbian one. Edit2: Now i tried over Armbian 5.70 - Ubuntu bionic 4.4.166 and i get the black screen too. Edit3: Now i tried over Armbian 5.70 - Ubuntu bionic 4.19 and.... IT BOOTS! The problem wih 4.19 is that Media Script only supports 4.4 so i can't install it

Wow! i hate not being able to understand anything of those patches, looks like tons of work. I bet you rockchip will copy your changes and publish as theirs some time. So someone also tried porting google's vpu work on rk3288? is that compatible with debian?

Sounds good! Does it mean that there is more people pushing for VPU support on the tinkerboard? Or they made a generic vpu implementation? Don't forget to post any progress :pp

Did they send you any hint?

stress -c 4 output is: stress: info: [2841] dispatching hogs: 4cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0hdd I stopped it after few minutes because it wasn't printing anything else. Or should i leave 10/15min? PS: With Big Buck Bunny 1920x1080p60 offline (http://bbb3d.renderfarming.net/download.html) mpv works great. So looks like only fails with urls. For browser i switched to firefox.

There you have: kernelVersion="$(uname -a)" if [[ $kernelVersion != *"tinkerboard 4.4."* ]]; then echo "Kernel version not supported" exit fi Now i have Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.166_desktop + media script and tinkerboard shuts down when opening chrome or trying to play a youtube video with mpv / mpv-gbm.

My bad, downloading the legacy one ty! Maybe the script could do a kernel check before instlling anything to avoid fools like me?

Facepalm i thought youtube-dl was included in the package, i didn't even make the effort to try install it. Soz. How ever, my output is quite different: test@tinkerboard:~$ mpv-gbm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ Playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 [ytdl_hook] WARNING: Unknown codec av01.0.05M.08 No audio streams in file https://r3---sn-h5q7knee.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?txp=5532232&requiressl=yes&fvip=2&expire=1547576568&ipbits=0&mime=video%2Fmp4&clen=527968855&gir=yes&itag=401&mn=sn-h5q7knee%2Csn-h5q7dnes&signature=4640785288523C52191D08E23DCDA14B13590D80.4BEA53D4F4B931025089B08FF8B02EF6B3D8CE3E&mm=31%2C29&ms=au%2Crdu&mv=m&mt=1547554874&dur=313.780&ei=mNA9XILRGpjX1gbW8bHoCA&lmt=1546532984364249&ip=80.26.96.203&aitags=133%2C134%2C135%2C136%2C137%2C160%2C242%2C243%2C244%2C247%2C248%2C271%2C278%2C298%2C299%2C302%2C303%2C308%2C313%2C315%2C330%2C331%2C332%2C333%2C334%2C335%2C336%2C337%2C394%2C395%2C396%2C397%2C398%2C399%2C400%2C401&id=o-AO_OaCGUzlsNuqsOIsJ-UuWGRnrZyELCP93_YYC3-WL4&key=yt6&c=WEB&keepalive=yes&initcwndbps=1190000&source=youtube&sparams=aitags%2Cclen%2Cdur%2Cei%2Cgir%2Cid%2Cinitcwndbps%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Ckeepalive%2Clmt%2Cmime%2Cmm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cpl%2Crequiressl%2Csource%2Cexpire&pl=16&beids=9466588&ratebypass=yes.
