Kodi with KMS/DRM/GBM backend only

Tried MPV, but it didn't seem to work . Looks like MPV is not supported http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus#Player_Support

we're tweaking the sources and scripts to release a new RetrOrangePi version , so hopefully a working tutorial will be available soon

@Alerino Reis If you're using ffmpeg patches from LibreELEC, then you need only this additional patch to make it compatible with mpv. I tested yesterday and it works for me when running without any window manager running with either of these commands:

mpv --vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm --hwdec=auto video.mkv
mpv --vo=drm --hwdec=auto video.mkv

You can append "-v" parameter to check if mpv really uses HW decoding.

Took some time to resume working on it...

 

At the moment, i'm only able to get Kodi working fine with hw decoding.

MPV and VLC are a no-go.

Huh..it seams that it is not so simple for everyone to reach this poing to have a HW acceleration on H3.

My goal is to reach transcoding from h264 full HD as input stream (satillite stream from enigma2 receivers) and lower down the resolution to SD in h264 with FFmpeg.

I compiled myself the ffmpeg with h264 and libfdk-aac.

All this working even without HW but from SD to SD.

Is there some detail tutorial how can I reach this point?

Thx!

Trying to add VA-API into actual Armbian Focal (Linux orangepipc 5.4.45-sunxi #20.05.4)

 

Install instruction

Spoiler

$ sudo apt-get install libtool pkg-config vainfo libva2 libva-x11-2 libva-drm2 libva-utils libva-dev libdrm-dev

$ git clone https://github.com/bootlin/libva-v4l2-request

$ cd libva-v4l2-request

$ ./autogen.sh

$ make

$ sudo make install

 

Next, export driver:

$ export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=v4l2_request

and check it with vainfo tool. Have an error:

$ vainfo 
libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'v4l2_request'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/v4l2_request_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

 

To fix, add symbolic link to installed driver:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dri/v4l2_request_drv_video.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/

 

And seems everything is ok

$ vainfo

@Sash0k, it looks interesting.
What about the real video playback in video players (like mpv, vlc, etc...)?

 

Unfortunately, no success.

 

First, mainline bootlin backend is outdated, h264 broken. It has some pull requests, that not merged.

Tryng to recompile Philipp Zabel's version, and merge his work for h264

Spoiler

$ git clone https://github.com/pH5/libva-v4l2-request.git
$ cd libva-v4l2-request
$ git merge origin/h264
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install

 

 

This version works with artifacts in VLC:

Finally got it! No kernel modifications needed, only v4l2-request.


Key notes:

  • Use bootlin code, latest master (not release-2019.03 tag)
  • I merged just one small patch from https://github.com/bootlin/libva-v4l2-request/pull/30/files (seems, it's unecessary)
  • Download kernel sources with corresponding version. For my armbian is: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.4.45.tar.xz
  • Extract 2 files from kernel/include/media mpeg2-ctrls.h and h264-ctrls.h and replace ones in v4l2-request
  • Replace V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE_RAW to V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE in v4l2-request source code
  • Compile and install (instruction is as 2 posts above)
  • Don't forget to set VLC as in https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus

Well, kernel modification is needed for better decoding (less glitches). Probably new *-ctrl.h files contain new fields (not 100% sure) which also need to be filled.

 

There is no any post processing implemented here like scaling. It would be possible to do that via SoC specific peripherals but that wouldn't be universal and thus it's out of scope of this library.

 

Anyway, I'm glad you succeeded.

Hello again.

I've compiled libva-v4l2-request for actual orangepipc 5.7.15-sunxi #20.08

Works better than 5.4.45, no artifacts in 720p

Patched sources: https://github.com/Sash0k/libva-v4l2-request

BTW, while your approach may work to some degree, note that you don't set bunch of flags for h265. This may work only in very specific cases. Certainly h265 should be worse than before.

Hi,

i'm interested in this topic, but since i use wayland i would like to get it working on mpv (for example). I got vaainfo detecting the library, but when launched using mpv i got green screen and a lot of "failed to destoy surface". I also have noticed that after a some try, i got an error about failed resource allocation (i imagine because it does not free correctly buffers). Someone have managed to get mpv working?

For the context, i'm not using Armbian device, but a Pinephone with PostmarketOS (it's the only Allwinner device i have), but i think a lot of people could benefit from get this driver working.

Posted

Sadly noone maintain vaapi layer, so you're mostly on your own there, which means learning a ton of internal details of vaapi, v4l2 request api and supported codecs. On the other hand, ffmpeg fork with v4l2 request api is pretty well maintained. I know this is not ideal, but for example mpv (with one patch) can work with that modified ffmpeg.

Hi guys, i did what you say above but still doesnt work on both vlc and ffmpeg running on Orangepi PC.

5.10 is ancient for video decoding purposes. Codecs started stabilizing after 5.11. With 5.14 you'll have stable and fully working MPEG2, VP8 and H264. If you need low effort solution, build latest gstreamer 1.20 RC with gst-plugins-bad with one of the latest kernels. With proper pipeline, it works. If you need out of the box solution, use LibreELEC distro.

how can i find armbian kernel 5.14 for orangepi pc?

There is no 5.14 kernel available in Armbian, I talked about minimum version. In general, codecs are improved with (almost) every release, so latest version is best. I only see images with kernel 5.13 on download page, which should in theory work. You can build your own Armbian image with kernel 5.15 (edge).

Posted

Jernej, what if i want to make backporting the 5.14 codecs to 5.4 release coming with openwrt for orange pi pc. Is that possible, what do i need to take care doing this operation.  Just taking the cedrus drivers will not help generally, right?

 

I wanna port the working librelec libraries to latest openwrt stable distro.

You'll have to also port headers and maybe more. This is generally not something I'd spend time on. It should be easier to update Linux package on openwrt.

Posted

@jernej my main approach is backport drivers to kernel 4.19, due to the limitations they dont want to change it. What if i use ubarobov's images , i guess he used 4.20 for the tests. Also bootlin guys also says 4.20 is working for their toolchains.

 

Do you see any risk on that? Can i run hw decode on kernel 4.19?

 

Umit

Kernel 4.19 was one of the first which has anything of request API framework IIRC. Task of porting mainlined patches there will be even harder. You can use WIP patches from Bootlin and accompanying libs, but then expect that many videos won't work, especially interlaced H264. Also gstreamer or patched ffmpeg won't be compatible with that API. That's even more futile IMO and don't expect any help from me.
