Debian Pine64 h264/5 Video under vlc

[ozcy]

Hello comunity,

I have a rock64-4G under Debian stretch that I would like to use it as a normal computer.
The only problem that I find is the slow play of the >=h264 videos (through VLC).

I've seen how other smaller boards like cubbieboard 2 handle these videos from debian without problem, so I guess in rock64 it should work better.

I think the problem ist in the acceleration driver for the mali GPU, which I think the board has.

It seems that the sources are here:

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libmal...hip/debian
or here
https://github.com/rock64-linux/libmali/...hip/debian

But I have not idea how to procced... how compile/install

Someone so kind to help me?

Thanks in advance. Regards everyone

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the hint tllim... so the right question is then, How I do to enable the VPU or VDPAU in VLC or smplayer? The first program show no screen, the second restart the xserver

Thanks in advance.

Here is the info getting from http://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus/libvdpau-sunxi:

Playing video
With everything setup properly, it should now be possible to playback hardware accelerated media!
The best test file would be one of the well known sample media's. The big buck bunny is an often used one. http://samplemedia.linaro.org/H264/big_b..._7200K.MP4
Depending if you use mpv or mplayer2, the following options are required. For mplayer2:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau, [filename]
For mpv:
mpv --vo=vdpau --hwdec=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=all [filename]
Note: There have been reports that some mplayer versions in certain repositories are not compiled with vdpau support.
Now you can also try to use other files, but note it has to be mpeg1, mpeg2 or h264 encoded!

Any idea that error not found file:

Thanks.

PD. I thought it would be interesting to put an image (ayufan) of debian with this already installed.

Rock64 has no any VPU, to my knowledge. It has Mali 450MP2 GPU.

Please consult this document for video playback: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...layback.md
