I spent a while checking out Mali 400 kernel driver support, but I am not sure the Mali 400 even handles the encoding/decoding - this may actually be something done by some other part of the A64 - i.e. in the video engine: https://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/...iagram.jpg

If the support matrix in project Cedrus is anything to go by, it seems only partial support is achieved: https://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus#Supported_codec_matrix

It seems like the work has been left in a nice place to pick up from though.

Yes, it's what I noticed also, there was quite some work on this but things like h264 encoding or more features for the h264 decoding were not implemented.

Anyone is working on this? If all Pinephone owners would crowdfound these features it would be nice I think.
