Need help with video decode acceleration on NanoPi R6S

[Blind55]

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the acceleration performance (smooth 4K video playback in mpv / chromium) in Armbian (any of the MESA/VPU marked releases) that I am getting from the FriendlyElec distributions. In my naive mind, I thought the MESA/VPU version would get me there, but mpv stutters on 4K videos. I suspect this is because Armbian avoids the proprietary drives. A long time ago, Armbian Ubuntu versions were able to be 'amended' with the Amazingfate/liujianfeng1994 repository, but I have not been able to make that work in a while.

Could someone point me to a guide that allows me to get similar performance with Armbian as I am getting with FriendlyElec?

Thanks bunch in advance!

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Or wait until the end of the year when 6.18 will be the new Linux version, that enables pretty much everything.

If you really need a bleeding edge working mediaplayer, LibreElec has experimental support for R6S/R6C:

I've a similar issue but on a different board nanopi m4v2. Could you also help me in troubleshooting the problem?

In addition to video problems at 4K I'm getting also Bluetooth problems with my keyboard.

Feel free to ask for extra info.
