So I have a Rock64 board and I want to leverage its hardware decoding and encoding abilities in an Emby server. But for a start I'd be happy just to get any sort of hardware decoding working. I tried out Armbian Stretch and wasn't able to get either of my HEVC test files to play smoothly out of the box. (vainfo returned an error when trying to get a driver name, so evidently something needs to be installed that's not, but I'm not sure what...) And there's very little instruction out there that I can find, so I'm not sure if this is an Armbian shortcoming or just a matter of me not knowing how to get all the pieces in place.
I'm interested in ayufan's images, but don't know if it's any easier to get hardware decoding working there than on Armbian... Has anyone gotten hardware decoding working on these boards? What OS works best and what needs to be installed/configured to get it working properly?
