Accelerated H.264 and HEVC video decoding with Cedrus

[baryluk]

If you are on ubuntu image, then probably use longsleep packages. Otherwise:


Before you start you should have installed gcc, gnumake, autoconf and other development tools.

You will also need pixman header files and shared library installed. As well thedevelopment headers and shared library for vdpau. In debian and ubuntu you can install that using :

sudo apt-get install libvdpau-dev

Then


git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libump.git
cd libump
./configure
make
sudo make install

git clone https://github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-fbturbo.git
cd xf86-video-fbturbo/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libcedrus.git
cd libcedrus
make
sudo make install

git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libvdpau-sunxi.git
cd libvdpau-sunxi
make
sudo make install


This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Allwinner A10/A13 FBDEV"
Driver "fbturbo"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "true"
EndSection


After that restart x server, or just reboot, and use the mplayer script or flags mentioned earlier in the thread. I was using

VDPAU_DRIVER=sunxi /usr/bin/mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffhevcvdpau, some_file.avi

for playback.
