FFmpeg 3.3.4 "Hilbert" with Cedrus on github


@lex

Recommended Posts

Hi @lex

Thank you for the work. May you consider to fork ffmpeg git repo and merge your cedrus modification on it?

It will be easy then to rebase the newer ffmpeg version and even eventually issue a PR.

Also consider that your .deb for some reason is linked to libSDL2-2.0 that will bring together the entire X11, that maybe you don't won't on headless system

So, I have built it on H5 and tried to encode an mpeg2 file, but it doesn't work:

Do you know if the problem is with the H5 SoC itself or some missing feature or paramenter to pass to ffmpeg?

I don't think they will accept this... It is using deprecated functions and is more a hack than anything else , no real benefits for X86 users.

Did you run as sudo/root?

Can you please try using x264 and see if works?

-c:v libx264

Hi

sudo/root doesn't help, while software encoding works

However I think I miss one big thing here, which is the kernel module. Can you tell me which one you have compiled?

The repository I know is this one: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-cedrus

But last time I have tried to compile one of the two branch, I could not compile against kernel 4.10 due to new v4l2 interface

Hi

Actually I think I am getting a better picture of the Cedrus stuff

The wiki is a little bit confusing, since the "Cedrus" project point to this outdated, rockchip based repo.

While the official page apparently is: http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-cedrus

There is a forked 4.9 kernel with everything in place to compile sunxi-cedrus kernel module plus libva backend

Is this the kernel you are using? I see that something has been added also in the v4l2 core, so the sunxi-cedrus cannot be just moved in new kernel, and also DT bindings are required, maybe with some adaptation for H5 SoC (like vpu memory address)

Cedrus is built into FFmpeg.

 

I think you should try first libcedrus and to see if you can get video decoding working before.

Build and install libcedrus: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libcedrus

 

Check if you can use MVP with cedrus.

mmm I cannot understand how an user space application such ffmpeg can access the VE without a kernel module (without mentioning the clocks needed)

From the source code I see that also libcedrus is using #define DEVICE "/dev/cedar_dev", so it is definitely needed to have the cedrus kernel module available that I dont'

 "Oh dear! Oh my! Oh trouble!!" :P

I think you just found a use case for this: https://github.com/avafinger/H5-firmware
