marxero Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hello everybody. I'm a newcomer here. I tried several times (6 or 7) to use the "Search" function, typing either "OBS" or "OBS Studio", but the page crashed everytime, prompting me to wait 30 seconds (in vain). So I'm considering buying an Odroid N2+ and installing Armbian on it. As said in the title, I'd like to use OBS Studio on it, but would like to know if someone already installed it - and could use it of course -, just to spare time. Maybe it's already been discussed somewhere here, but as I said, the "Search" function doesn't work for me. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-80 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 No reason why it shouldn't, as that is just another user space package like any other (AFAIU). But maybe you can report back how it worked for you, for the benefit of the next person who comes along looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception (AFAIU) that it is designed for PC video architecture. It uses the FFMPEG framework for GPU accelerated video operations. But SOC based ARM devices have dedicated VPU IPs (v4l2) where mainline FFMPEG framework has little support for. You have to apply out of tree patches if they exist at all for the desired version. Gstreamer based applications are better off, current mainline developer versions support everything current kernel provides. When it comes to hardware-accelerated video encoders, there is only marginal support in mainline kernel, if at all. Above all, they are waiting for the complete de-staging of the decoder APIs before their mainline development continues. Therefore, it will take some time until all current developments end up in the distributions and work out of the box. But the one who can follow the current developer versions comes a long way.

For example, Rockchip based devices with stateless decoders are more advanced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-80 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Thanks for the info, I learned something. Video and graphical stuff is a bit out of my wheelhouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
