latest build of armbian cinnamon bookworm, no hardware acceleration?

[Dim3nt0]

altho there is no warning in the corner any more youtube is a slideshow, or if i am missing something please tell me what or how to enable it.

Hopefully someone can shed some light, from what I can trace the old panfork drivers for the G610 GPU are merged in freedesktop mesa (so assume should be present in current system) but neither chromium, mpv or vlc seems to be able to use the driver so not sure what is missing...

Seeing the same thing here. This is what I get from mpv.

I think halfway proper hw acceleration is only possible with Jammy gnome legacy and the ppa's mentioned at the download page installed. The reason is the gnome version comes with wayland which the additional drivers work with.

From what I can see wayland is enabled by default in bookworm and there are mesa driver packages... Wondering if there are permissions missing or if the video acceleration requires the new 6.x kernel? Could anyone comfirm?

I don't think that Mesa has support for it but you could build it yourself:

https://gitlab.com/panfork/mesa

 

For video acceleration you'll need to compile/install mpp

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp

 

FFmpeg with rkmpp support decoding/encoding 

https://github.com/hbiyik/FFmpeg/

 

For Chromium you could find some info here, but I've never done this:

https://github.com/JeffyCN/libv4l-rkmpp

 

With a bit of luck it won't take very long to get working mainline drivers.

Arg... I can see the panfork module loaded in this distrib but I did not imagine all these other components were missing...

 

Can't figure out how releases are figured out for armbian, but feels like an updated version of jammy would have been easier to handle for the common user. For video playback, I guess skip this release? I can in other threads that ppl have been able to get acceleration on the new 6.x kernel in experimental builds...

 

I need to re-install... Should I go with Orange PI official image or is it worth configuring the new nighly with 6.5 kernel?

It depends on what you are using it for. The best experience for me is Armbian Jammy with the software installed from amazingfate's repository. I'm using it daily, it's not perfect, but I'm amazed how much I use it instead of my pc. Especially with box64/Wine64.

 

The acceleration was with the kernel of Googulator? That one is not updated for months and very hacky. 

 

For the 6.5 kernel you can look here what had made it to the mainline kernel:
