Hello All,

 

I have Orange Pi one board with Armbian 5.20 Desktop and Kodi/mpv/mplayer installed.

I want to make OP1 a home media center.

Desktop is set to 1080p60 (1920x1080p 60Hz, by h3disp script).

 

My problem:

Everything works perfect when playing videos mkv (x264/h264), mpeg2, mpeg etc. for mpv, mplayer, kodi even 1080p materials.

But I have a problem playing videos coded with MPEG4 (popular avi xvid).

 

MPV config:

vo=vdpau
hwdec=vdpau
fs=yes
framedrop=vo
Video looks like this: http://pasteboard.co/i5YOuOebV.jpg

When I use vo=x11 and video is not in fullscreen everyting is OK, on full screen i get:

LIBGL: Initialising glshim
Playing: The.English.Patient[Eng]Dvdrip.Dino.avi
 (+) Video --vid=1 (mpeg4)

and image freezes or is see one frame every 1 second.

 

Mplayer/SMplayer

Evething is set to auto.

Video looks like this: http://pasteboard.co/i62Avb8k9.jpg

VLC behaves the same like mplayer.

 

Kodi:

Video look normal but it has only 15fps and there are frames drops.

mpeg4 codec in vdpau for those boards is broken. For mplayer find config file, it usually is in /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf , but it can be in home folder also. And add this :

vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffhevcvdpau,

But this will solve the problem for mplayer itself, not for SMplayer. I think i managed to solve the problem in SMplayer by adding this as custom parameter for launched mplayer.

For mpv i haven't found full solution yet. The config file must be located here in Armbian - /etc/mpv/mpv.conf . And the parameter is "hwdec-codecs=all". I replace it with:

hwdec-codecs=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffhevcvdpau,

and this solve the issue with mpeg4 files, but i guess i missing some encoder, because the picture become with different colors (more green) for h264 files and is a bit laggy although it's not droping frames. Maybe you could execute the player from terminal with those parameters for mpeg4 files only and leave parameter in config as it is.

For vlc i have no clue. It have to be mplayer fork, but i don't now where vdpau codecs can be selected.

Unfortunately RagnerBG your suggestion didnt work for me :(

Video: no video

and no video, only sound.

 

For mpv:

video looks just like for mplayer in first post.

 

Maybe there are some dependencies missing?

Did you put comma at the end of forced codecs?

vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffhevcvdpau,

This is the exact line for mplayer. Comma is important because it allow player to use external decoder if there is no compatible. This should be xvid which have to be build in all Armbian distros, but in case it's missing, you can install it manually. Or ffmpeg.

Default Armbian configuration file forces HW decoding, so it needs to be explicitly disabled or config file should be temporarily renamed.

 

I tried to run:

mpv --vo=vdpau --hwdec=no <filename>.avi

and result were the same as this http://pasteboard.co/i62Avb8k9.jpg.

I tried every available posision from --hwdec=help:

mpv --hwdec=help
LIBGL: Initialising glshim
Invalid value for option hwdec: help
Valid values are:
    no
    auto
    auto-copy
    vdpau
    videotoolbox
    videotoolbox-copy
    vaapi
    vaapi-copy
    dxva2
    dxva2-copy
    d3d11va
    d3d11va-copy
    rpi
    mediacodec

Result was the same on my OP1. <http://pasteboard.co/i62Avb8k9.jpg>

You are right. I just tested and it's appear to nor working for all mpeg4 files. I tried 4 files, they looked like http://pasteboard.co/i5YOuOebV.jpg in mpv with "hwdec-codecs=all". With "hwdec-codecs=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffhevcvdpau," 2 of the files start playing normal, other 2 looked like http://pasteboard.co/i62Avb8k9.jpg . So try other mpeg4 file. But this obviously is not the solution for all yet. I don't have mplayer installed at the moment, but as far as i remember when i compile it from source, mpeg4 files sometimes start playing fine (in SMplayer with ffodivxvdpau disabled). But it's a bit of dice game. Every of my compilation, with the same steps and almost the same packages, lead to different results.

RagnerBG thank you for your explanation.

 

This maybe sound like a dumb question, but is there anyway to change video codec on the fly (without writing to disk, example mpeg4->mkv (x264)) and then redirect videostream to mpv or mplayer?

My 2 cents.

 

Im running Orange PI PC+ and so far my best option for mpv is : 

vo=x11

hwdec-codecs=all
hwdec=auto

 

That way , nonscaled movie (an xvid avi) plays smooth, but full screen is jaggy, with noticeable banding, but it plays... you can watch a movie... kind of like streaming from video sites.

 

I don't know if is relevant: I've previously installed ffmpeg and the Codecs Pack from The Software Boutique. Probably not.
