Which kernel, debian, mesa and sway versions are running normally when you run a stock Armbian? Which new versions have you observed working together? (even if it's not ARM). If they are too different, they may not work together due to library functions expecting other parameters. You can try it with Ubuntu Noble, which has newer packages than Debian Trixie (build Armbian by yourself).

I am glad that it's possible to use a different ffmpeg version than what the distribution expects. (it gives me hope of installing it in Trixie, instead of changing over to the newest Ubuntu) Did you install the locally compiled ffmpeg at OS level, or did you keep it in a folder within your /home/username/...?

Usual User, the information you linked about Linux 6.19 seems like there's progress for Rockchip. However, is there any indication that Allwinner H618 could get H265/HEVC decoding acceleration working too?

Thank you for being specific about the RKxxx+6.19+Noble information As I asked in the other thread, please also specify which ffpmeg and mpv sources you used. I hope I can make it work in opiz3 (H618) in a more recent Debian (I only could make it work in Bookworm). Do you see any difference in 8bit vs 10bit HEVC(H265)?

For context, he is talking about: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20847 There are many ffpmpeg options. Which ffmpeg did you use? https://code.ffmpeg.org/Kwiboo/FFmpeg/src/branch/v4l2request-v3 https://code.ffmpeg.org/Kwiboo/FFmpeg/src/branch/v4l2-request-n8.1 And which debian/ubuntu version did you use? Which ffmpeg is included in that distribution?

Maybe this comment and thread have a hint for you https://forum.armbian.com/topic/47971-driving-the-ili9488-lcd-40-inch-cheap-chinese-clone/#findComment-229274 I don't own a waveshare LCD... but I would also like to know if its possible to make it work with Armbian

Can you repeat your amrbian OS version, Linux, and hardware? I can't give a confident advice for you, but have you tried: * extraargs=cma=256M in armbianEnv.txt * turn off compositor, if using xfce (others have suggested it, and I found it unnecessary) In mpv, turn on verbosity by adding -v to the command. Then while it is running, close it and copy all the mpv text in a text editor. Search for the words h264, ffmpeg, v4l2, hardware, software

Make sure you have ili9486.ko in your ko module folder: modinfo ili9486 Can you use the DTS that I published in: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/47971-driving-the-ili9488-lcd-40-inch-cheap-chinese-clone/#findComment-208446 But change the "compatible" line with waveshare,rpi-lcd-35 , Delete the stuff under the "compatible" line, until the "}vsync-len = <0>;", and replace it with what you had in your DTS. Change these lines, if they are different: spi-max-frequency = <24000000>; rotate = <270>; bgr; fps = <30>; buswidth = <8>; regwidth = <16>; Reference: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-6.12.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/piscreen-overlay.dts

Linux is not a real time operating system Realtime OSes have a 1 ms accuracy You need an arduino dedicated only to make your square wave

I have an Orange Pi Zero 3, Opi z2w, Opi z LTS, and Banana Pi M2 Zero. If the OS image is not in your download page, does it mean you don't need help with these boards? I didn't have any problems with opiz3 Armbian.com or self built image ever (last time I tried was 2 months ago). The others: haven't used in 1 year.

Yes usermod -aG docker yourusername , then reboot, was what I needed to let the armbian build script continue Warning: if you forget the "a" in -aG, you will get locked out being admin in your own computer Second roadblock: I needed to install qemu as per: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/52127-running-armbian-build-on-x86-64/#findComment-219019 Thank you Werner!

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ... CLEAN INSTALL, with "git" installed I started a typical armbian build folder, as per: https://github.com/armbian/build?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start But then I got this error: [🌱] Build host OS release [ zena ] [🌱] Build host architecture [ amd64 ] [💥] error! [ Unsupported build system: 'zena' ] I know that Mint 22.3 was released just last month, but I needed something in the new Linux kernel. I can use Mint 22.2 in another computer (where armbian is working OK)... but what is the typical delay for a new Linux Mint to become supported? Then I tried with $ sudo apt install docker.io , and got a little further: $ ./compile.sh [🚸] Docker is installed, but not usable [ can't use Docker; check your Docker config / groups / etc ] [💥] Problem detected [ Docker installed but not usable ] [💥] Exiting in 10 seconds [ Press <Ctrl-C> to abort, <Enter> to ignore and continue ] Counting down: 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0...

Hello Orima, Thank you for asking. I am doing well. I've been mainly distracted by an online drawing class. I will try to make a complete written guide in the weekend. It will be a new project in my github, and I will make a new thread here.

JFL, can you check the Ubuntu gnome is running under wayland? ($ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE) Can you check the labwc availability in Ubuntu Noble? ($ apt list labwc) I never tested H265... I am glad it is working

Oh so I stand corrected... I was going from information on the website: I don't see a Linux client, and in other sites: emby was open source but now it's not

You can't use emby and the h618 acceleration with ffmpeg-v4l2request... you need to make emby work under Debian, and tell emby to use mpv.

Thank you for the comment Jock Yes, I know that Trixie's mpv made some changes that made it incompatible with your ffmpeg+v4lrequest package. I tried to compile mpv, and I wasn't sure of how to do it. I asked for help in the mpv github, and someone told me to wait for ffmpeg to merge this function. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-3369553163 Recently, I got more suggestions to build ffmpeg for Trixie https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-3828170966 Boringname... can you specify which Debian version, Linux kernel and graphical desktop (kde, xfce, gnome, plasma, labwc, sway)?

There was a successful test with Debian Forky in RK3566 I saw some progress and success in the last 2 days. Someone made compiled ffmpeg 8.0+v4l2request and made it work in Debian Forky... which also carries ffmpeg 8.0 https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-3500141427 Does this mean that I need to use Debian Forky too? (I was staying with Debian Bookworm because H264 hwaccel only worked there) References: https://code.ffmpeg.org/Kwiboo/FFmpeg/src/branch/v4l2request-v3 https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20847 https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ffmpeg

Yes. Please wait. I was busy with other personal projects, so I haven't been doing armbian stuff for a few weeks.

I don't know what you could improve right now... But I know that LCD only receives data. My LCD works the same, with its MISO pin connected or disconnected.

Yes, that's a typo. The dc (data/command) should be PC7, and the MOSI (LCD's SDI) is PH7

Yes. Probably this week.

Is your LCD at least turning white on powerup? Did you connect the "LED" pin in the LCD, to 3.3V? Send a drawing of how you are connecting the LCD to the orange pi zero 3.

Thank you Pearo, What does "S/N" mean? I just ended up using my orange pi zero 3 gpio without the additional DTS, which made connector numbering available in the gpioinfo command... There were comments that made it sound not really necessary, and it was more work than I wanted to take on. The solution for me was: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33800-orange-pi-zero-3-gpio/#findComment-181191 This was 2 years ago, and I haven't even thought about it, all this time.

I really hope that Orange Pi engineers learn to make Armbian patches, enter the community and give funding accordingly
