I insist yet with this board because is the only ARM one I have, and the only I will have like forever, since everything is way expensive right now in my country (Argentina) and I can't afford for a better board.
I've been able to achieve hardware decoding on mainline kernels and this newer ffmpeg fork: https://github.com/jernejsk/FFmpeg
All you need is the device tree changes to make the decoding nodes show up. I can help you getting that to work if you don't know how.
Hardware encoding isn't a thing yet, but there is work being done on it, though mostly on the rk3399 from what I understand.
