I‘m using an OrangePi Lite with the intent to display a 4kp30 video to a 4k TV over hdmi.
from reading through the forums I saw that mainline kernel does not support video acceleration - is this information current?
after installing the Xenial Image with 3.4 kernel I manage to play 1440p video smoothly two ways with mpv:
- windowed if display resolution is set to 4k
-fullscreen if display resolution is set to 1080p
if I try to run the 1440p vi
I've got ffmpeg working with v4l2_request api on Allwinner H3 (orange pi pc).
It achieved in a few steps:
1. Download FFmpeg https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/archive/4.0.4-Leia-18.4.tar.gz
2. Patch it with https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches
3. Download mainline kernel 5.3.5
4. Patch it with https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/projects/Allwinner/patches/linux
5. Copy linux headers on rootfs /usr/in
