Hardware video acceleration on H5 cpu

[typeproto]

Hi,

how can I enable hardware decode of video h264 mpeg on H5 chip?

I use a Orange pi pc2 but video goes slow and lag very much.

H5 SoC has very value hardware but isn’t possibile use mali GPU yet?

 

Thanks

MALI GPU is supported for about a year with opensource mesa drivers. Performance is not there but it works. 

Video acceleration has nothing to do with this. Do some searching:

https://forum.armbian.com/search/?q=h264

It was developed but it has to be implemented or wait that feature lands to the mainline. This is open source and you are allowed to do that.

Thanks,

but about ffmpeg with Cedrus?

Can I use hardware acceleration on decode h264 mp4 video with cedrus? And how can install on ARMBIAN 4.19 kernel Orange pi pc2?

 

Thanks

I would already tell you if this would be on the end user level (apt install) yet. Search forums - people were doing some tests and see if you can do something.
