iirc rkvdec supports greater resolution decode than hantro for h264. kwiboo wrote support for h264 on hantro, but then dropped in favor of rkvdec.


still using 5.8. no rush on 5.9. i have other projects in the works and those should be discuswed here soon.

ffmpeg uses drm hwaccel. kodi is the most supported software bevayse that is what libreelec uses as frontend. you can process via cli also. see the "mainline hwaccel" thread for more details.

Hello @xmixahlx 

I have finally got back to trying vpu support for Manjaro.
I patched the following packages

1. Linux Kernel 5.9.11 with vpu patch from your git.
   
2. Ffmpeg with the patched you have in pbp-tools git
   
3. Libva
   
4. libva-utils ( rebuilt)
   
5. libva-v4l2-request
   

After all this I see that hantro and rkvdec is loaded during boot but ffmpeg decoder doesn't list v4l2-request any more

v4l2-ctl --list-devices

I am not sure what else is needed. It still takes alot of cpu when playing via ffplay as mpv is not patched and as v4l2_request is not detected then no point of patching mpv, for kodi I might have to do a fresh pkgbuild for gbm with patched ffmpeg.

Any advice?
