Hello @OttawaHacker Thanks for your tests, these look promising! Did you also test kodi by chance? I already started a discussion about that a while ago: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/58282-hardware-video-acceleration-with-recent-armbianmainline-kernel-kodi/ Some questions: You mentioned you needed to install panthor-gpu overlay. Is that available in the repo or how did you install that? You used jellyfin's ffmpeg, this might behave different than upstream? (I am only interested in decoding, not encoding) Which player did you use to play your youtube videos? What resolutions were the videos you tested? Did you also verify that the hardware decoder was actually used for playback, if so, how? Thanks for your response!

Thanks for the responses! TBH I am not very familiar with the software stack from userspace required for video playback. So, some questions: - @chaitan3: You mentioned using a custom ffmpeg for mpv. Do you know if ffmpeg is also needed for kodi (when just using it to playback videos, not converting)? In https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-4159253319 you mentioned you used kernel 6.19, but this didn't have mainline support yet, maybe the situation with 7.0 is different? - Does anyone here have a rough idea what is still needed for Kodi (including the whole software stack below) to fully support HW video decoding on said platform (good if you know if specific PRs), without needing custom patches and possible ETA for that?

Hello everyone Just would like to start a discussion about the current state of video acceleration (decoding only, h.265/h.264/av1). The soc (rk3588) recently got mainline support for these features in 7.0: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md Has anyone tested this on a OPI5 already, especially using Kodi? Does this work ootb there now? Regards, XXXBold
