@Igor Thanks for the answer! So you run the latest Armbian to test? https://armbian.com/boards/orangepi5 from here? Which image? Would using the CLI version also work (I don't need a desktop). Can you maybe also verify if HEVC works? (H264 works also quite okay in pure CPU iirc).

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
