    Correct, there is no way to use windowed accelerated mpv. Gstreamer uses a hack to simulate X11 windowed playing.

    Well, yes, I didn't mention that you need to configure the system with the script first. I'll PM you a link of the preliminary version, though it is almost finished

    @NicoD Well, in order to compile ffmpeg with rkmpp support, you need to pass these three configure flags (or their cmake equivalent, if that's what you are using): 
    --enable-libdrm --enable-version3 --enable-rkmpp  
    Then, make sure your user has access to DRM. It should be enabled out-of-the-box for the default user in Armbian, if you build a current NanoPC-T4 image with the script (not in the one for download). Or you can just try to launch ffplay with sudo.
     
    For last, when you launch it try changing the "h264" decoder to the "h264_rkmpp" decoder. Here is a link to a thread in the ffmpeg lists from someone who tried to do something similar: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/libav-user/2018-April/011081.html
     
    Good luck with that

    AFAIK, ffmpeg can only display rkmpp decoded video through drmprime/gbm. Meaning that it cannot show it windowed in kdenlive.
     
    I see more chances of using mpp accelerated decoding in a gstreamer-based video editor, such as pitivi

    I'm not sure about ayufan's mpv version. I can tell you that I am working on a script for Armbian that has RKMPP enabled mpv. The proper way to start mpv with hardware decoding is like this:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/libmali-gbm mpv --hwdec=rkmpp --vo=gpu --gpu-api=opengl --gpu-context=drm "<filename.mkv>" It works with my mpv, not sure about ayufan's

    You read my mind! I'm brushing up the last stages for the RK3328/3399 multimedia support, and after that I was going to propose to add it to the build script.
     
    So my plan is to release the media scripts for those two SoC's in a few days, and after having some feedback from the community integrate the main features into the main build.
     
    Edit: I mean including all three RK SoC's: 3288, 3399 and 3328.

    JMCC reacted to Greg in OpenGL on Mali GPU (BananaPi, OrangePi PC, etc)   
    Hi there,
     
    I followed this for my pcDuino3 and it worked well except that graphics run slow, but better then they did before I followed this.
     
    In step 3 you say to configure your kernel to allocate memory for the GPU. I am a bit unsure on what to do here and realise it is platform specific. However, could you provide any further instruction on why to do. I am booting of an SD card and have tried updating a file called uEnv.txt to add commands shown on the configure page to this but they don't seem to have any effect. 
     
    Ultimately I am trying to run emulation station and tetrarch ala retropie on my pcDuino3. It has been challenging to say the least!
     
    Any help or pointers you could give would be appreciated.
     
    Thanks,

    No, it is not obvious. I knew it because I had to deal with the LibreElec source tree when I was preparing the RK-enabled Kodi for the Tinker Board . RK used to have their own version of libdrm, but for some reason they discontinued the project. ASUS TinkerOS still included the library as of version 2.0.5, not sure if it is present in last release.

    I forgot this came up in this topic, I have modified the rk3328.dtsi to use 8mA drive strength on all rk3328 boards, that will fix the issues for most users as far as the electrical interface is concerned (it is default 4 mA). 12 mA is available, if someone spends enough time rigorously testing to determine it's needed (probably edge cases with crappier than normal cards or poorly routed designs with too much capacitance) Rock64 was having the same complaints.

    JMCC got a reaction from TRS-80 in Emby Server with hardware transcoding in XU4/HC1/HC2 Armbian Stretch   
    As a result of all the work that Armbian developers put into the upgrade to kernel 4.14 for the XU4 board family, now we can enjoy many new features. One of them is the access to the SoC video encoding capabilities.
     
    Emby Media Server can take advantage of the Exynos 5422 MFC video engine for transcoding. That means lower CPU usage, lower temperatures, and the possibility of encoding in real time higher resolutions or more simultaneous streams. In my tests, I've been able to transcode one HEVC 1080p and one 480p at the same time, or five 480p (though it will depend on the bitrate of the source material).
     
    However, the ffmpeg version shipped with official Emby is quite unstable when using this feature. For that reason, I compiled a better and more stable version from @memeka's repo. I've been using it for over a month without a single crash.
     
    So this is a step-by step guide on how to make everything work:
     
    0. [PREREQUISITE]: You must be running an Armbian Strech XU4 "Next" image, like the one you can download here.
     
    >> DOWNLOAD the emby and ffmpeg packages from this link << Install them (Note: this will install Emby Server version 3.5.3, which is the last at the writing of this tutorial. It has been tested to work with this version, and may or may not work with any other): $ tar xvf emby-server-stretch-xu4_1.0.tar.xz $ sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg/*.deb $ sudo dpkg -i emby-server/*.deb $ sudo apt -f install  
    Hold the ffmpeg packages, so they don't get upgraded:  
    $ sudo apt-mark hold ffmpeg-doc ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavcodec-extra libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavfilter-extra libavformat-dev libavresample-dev libavutil-dev libmysofa-dev libmysofa-utils libmysofa0 libpostproc-dev libswresample-dev libswscale-dev  
    Add the user "emby" to the video group, so it can have access to the transcoding engine: $ sudo usermod -aG video emby  
    Modify the emby executable, to use our custom ffmpeg (Note: you will need to repeat this step every time you update the emby deb package): $ sudo nano /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server # Change the following line: ffmpeg $APP_DIR/bin/ffmpeg \ # to: ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg \  
    Restart the service:
    $ sudo service emby-server restart  
    Now, you can open the web browser, point to your Emby server (e.g. http://odroidxu4.local:8096), and configure it as described in the official tutorial (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Installation).
    For last, you need to enable Hardware video transcoding in the web interface. The option is under the "Transcoding" submenu. Don't forget to click on "Save" when you are done:
     
     

     
    And that's it!
     
    As an additional tip, I recommend disabling UPnP in Emby, because it causes the program to crash frequently when enabled (this is just a general recommendation, it has nothing to do with hardware encoding).
     
    Enjoy! And please, share your experiences and comments here.

    Okay, so I created a working fork of RK BSP kernel. It reproduces the status at the end of August, when we created the Default images that are currently available for download. I also modified the buildscript patchset to resemble what it was back then.
     
    I have tested Wifi, network, Bluetooth, GPU, VPU, all working.
     
    There are two things missing:
    Security patches after 4.4.132 All the features added after August 28 2018 (like some crypto modules, etc.) I'd appreciate if you guys could lend me a hand with those two things, it can be very easy for you because you already added those patches to 'master' before, but I'm a bit lost about where to start.

    JMCC got a reaction from NicoD in offically support Khadas VIM?   
    Well, that is in a sense what is done now with "board families". All the boards in the same family share the kernel and most filesystem tweaks, and differ only in the device tree and some adjustments for specific hardware. But it is only possible when all the boards share the same SoC or a very close one. With completely different SoC's, that is not possible, each one needs a different kernel. Notice that all different boxes supported by balbes150's images have some Amlogic Meson SoC, and that is why they can use the same image with minor tweaks.

    One great options is to help make it. I am pretty sure that all current maintainers have a big pile of hardware and very little time. More load is almost impossible to add ... I talked with @balbes150 about this problem long time ago. He is having boxes, I am having boards. Have it or have a free access to them. This is still the same. We as a community, not just he and I, wants to see project develop further. We (those few people who stands out with their work) can't produce more and more. It doesn't go that way ... it's more, more, more ... and once nothing more  That is bad for all. The one wants to work but he can't and community lost one of the prime contributors.

    If you or someone else wants to see this and that board/hardware supported, become its maintainer. It's a long term micro job and we can arrange samples or other random boards from our (over)stock and donations cuts for compensation/motivation.
     
    Making board officially supported means answering to its problems over longer period of time. Someone has to take that prime responsibility and someone has to serve as a backup. IMO current maintainers could jump on backup roles at best.

    Finally, the version 2.0 for Armbian Bionic is out! Check the OP for documentation and download link.
     
    CHANGELOG:
    Updated all necessary packages to work with Ubuntu Bionic Updated versions of MPV and Kodi Added the GL4ES wrapper, to provide OpenGL support (thanks @jock for the tips). In order to use it, you must launch your app from command line using the wrapper "glrun" RELEASE NOTES:
    I'm not sure whether the Widevine library is still working with newer versions of Chrome, and I don't have access to Netflix anymore to test it. Some feedback on this point is welcome. I'm still including the old cgminer as OpenCL example. If you want to try more recent algorithms and experiment with GPU mining just for fun, I recommend you to have a look to this sgminer for from the ODROID community (it works also with RK3288): https://github.com/hominoids/sgminer-arm As I said, just for learning, curiosity or fun. Trying to get money with a Tinkerboard is a waste of time. Plus, I think the whole crypto-mining idea is absurd, basing the value of a currency on wasting as much electricity as possible  Remember you need a default (4.4.y) kernel for HW video acceleration to work. It is not yet implemented in mainline (4.14.y).
