THE MEDIA SCRIPT IS DEPRECATED, IN FAVOR OF THE LEGACY MULTIMEDIA INTEGRATION. PLEASE REFER TO THIS TOPIC:
So finally we have the first version of:
The UN-official, UN-supported, etc...
RK3399 MEDIA TESTING SCRIPT
This is the first release of the RK3399 media testing script. The script provides a functionality similar to its RK3288 equivalent:
Installing all the libraries and system configurations necessary for GPU accelerated X desktop, Chromium WebGL, full VPU video play acceleration up to 4k@60 10-bit HEVC (the maximum supported by the SoC), and GLES 3.2 / OpenCL 1.2 support.
Three video players supporting full VPU acceleration (RKMPP) and KMS display (GBM or a X11 DRM "hack", as described by the authors), namely: MPV, Gstreamer and Kodi.
Two example programs using the OpenCL functionality: Examples form the Arm Compute Library, and a GPU crypto miner (an old version, but small and simple).
A library that will act as an OpenGL to OpenGL-ES wrapper, allowing you to run programs that use OpenGL 1.5-2.0.
Two additional features, that have no big interest from the Armbian development prospective, but I find them interesting to play with:
Chromium browser with support for Flash and DRM-protected commercial web video streaming (tested with Amazon Prime, should also work with Netflix, Hulu, etc.),
and a simple Pulseaudio GTK equalizer using LADSPA.

Prerequisites:
You need a fresh Armbian Bionic desktop image with legacy kernel installed.
Instructions:
Download the file above
Untar it: tar xvf media-rk3399_*.txz
cd media-script
./media-rk3399.sh
Notes:
This script is not officially supported by the Armbian project. It is just a community effort to help the development of the main build, by experimenting with a possible implementation of the media capabilities of this particular SoC.
Therefore, questions about the script should not be laid out as support requests, but as commentaries or community peer-to-peer assistance.
That being said, all commentaries/suggestions/corrections are very welcome. In the same way, I will do my best to help solve any difficulty that may arise regarding the script.
Enjoy!
