Hi !
I have a FriendlyElec NanoPi M5 and I want to play movies with it. But I want to squeeze everything out of this SBC ! So, I need hardware acceleration.
I tested first with a OS image downloaded from FriendlyElec and mpv and (almost) everything works well. The mpv working configuration is: hwdec=rkmpp, vo=gpu, gpu-api=opengl. But I don't like that OS for other reasons, so I switched to Armbian. I installed the image "Armbian 26.5.1 KDE Wayland (Ubuntu 26.04 - vendor 6.1.115)", then I installed mpv, but when I try to play movies, it says:
marus@nanopi-m5:/mnt/NAS/WDRed1/Samples/FullHD$ mpv --hwdec=rkmpp --vo=gpu --gpu-api=opengl H265.8bit.FullHD.1920x816.24fps.10Mbps.SDR.mkv
● Video --vid=1 --vlang=eng 'Carlito's Way 1993' (hevc 1920x816 23.976 fps) [default]
● Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng 'DDP 5.1 ch 640 Kb/s' (eac3 6ch 48000 Hz) [default]
Unsupported hwdec: rkmpp
AO: [pipewire] 48000Hz 5.1(side) 6ch floatp
VO: [gpu] 1920x816 yuv420p
AV: 00:00:14 / 00:01:59 (12%) A-V: 0.000 Cache: 104s/146MB
Exiting... (Quit)
It seems that this mpv doesn't know about rkmpp's existence... Strange ! What can I do ?
Has anyone managed to play movies with mpv and full hardware acceleration on NanoPi M5 and Armbian OS?
