What video, what player? Any logs?

Feel free to send a pr. I haven't work on family `rockchip-rk3588-collabora`. But if you have working code we can merge it so that more people may get into the mainline party.

Rockchip has released bsp kernel 5.10 for rk356x and rk3588. Since multimedia support is not fully supported by mainline kernel, a legacy kernel would be good if you want h264/hevc hardware decode. To make kodi support hardware decoding, you need: 1, ffmpeg supporting rkmpp. I've packaged it in my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia, which is based on the patch from https://github.com/JeffyCN/FFmpeg/. 2, kodi built with gles render system, which is also in my ppa 3, a gpu driver supporting gles. For rk356x you can use mainline panfrost driver. For rk3588 you can use panfork-mesa from my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/panfork-mesa I've tested that kodi can support hardware decoding on both 3568 and 3588. Here is the steps for rock5b to install kodi: 1, download the image I build with panfork-mesa and malig610 firmware: https://github.com/amazingfate/armbian-rock5b-images, and install it on your rock5b. 2, add my rockchip multimedia ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia 3, create a udev rule to enable the permission ofrockchip's mpp device: KERNEL=="mpp_service", MODE="0660", GROUP="video" KERNEL=="rga", MODE="0660", GROUP="video" KERNEL=="system-dma32", MODE="0666", GROUP="video" KERNEL=="system-uncached-dma32", MODE="0666", GROUP="video" RUN+="/usr/bin/chmod a+rw /dev/dma_heap" wirte the above rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/11-rockchip-multimedia.rules 4, install kodi: sudo apt install kodi 5, move kodi from xsession to wayland-session: sudo mv /usr/share/xsessions/kodi.desktop /usr/share/wayland-sessions/kodi-wayland.desktop 6, reboot the board: sudo reboot 7, in the lightdm greeter, select kodi and login 8, After starting kodi, in Settings -> Player -> Videos, enable "Allow using DRM PRIME decoder" and "Allow hardware acceleration with DRM PRIME". And set "PRIME Render Method" to "Direct To Plane" 9, Then you can play h264/h265 8 bit/10bit videos up to 4K. ============Updated on 20230206=================== rockchip-multimedia has become a universal ppa for rockchip legacy kernel. Here is the introduction: https://forum.radxa.com/t/introduction-to-rockchip-multimedia-ppa-for-ubuntu-jammy/14537 I provide a new package rockchip-multimedia-config to do all the system configs such as udev rules, chromium v4l2 devices creation. Just install this package and reboot, you are good to go.
