Accelerated H.264 and HEVC video decoding with Cedrus
#51
As long as the SoC temp in Linux stays below 80 it's fine without heat sink.
#52
Latest update. Running test 1080p video H264 decoding, measured temperature do not go over 44C with heat sink (modified heat sink - cutted to SoC dimension) just layed on top of it, wthout any termal conductive paste.

Please post foto of your colling system. My experiments can be found here: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...4#pid14694.

now simple do a sudo apt-get install package_name

Those packages are missing in Debian.

I am trying to get this working in VLC but i can't seem to get it right. I have tried mplayer using longsleep's script to run the big buck bunny test video and that worked fine. For VLC i tried to force VDPAU decoding in the preferences(under the codec tab) and nothing seems to be happening. Is there some step i am missing?

A little something. I don't know if this can apply to the Pine64-board, but it sure does work on the CHIP (which also use the Cedar VPU).

hi Captain !  ... exactly !  Take a look at this.

... what is key, the tree NO ONE is barking up right now,  is a browser that fully supports VDPAU.  VDPAU and the Cedrus project are the key, potentially, for video in gnu+linux without proprietary kernel blobs on the PineA64 (IMHO).

Unfortunately, no such browser exists at the moment (for the PineA64) that supports VDPAU.  But this is a conversation (which longsleep has started many times) that needs to be pursued.

Who's responsible for handling this? AllWinner, SBC makers or the true Lunix spirit; communities of all the different flavours of AllWinner based SBCs?

Chrome is a total jackass regarding VDPAU/VA-API acceleration under Linux - they support it under ChromeOS, using all the same libraries and setups - but not under Linux.

Firefox, however, at least has VDPAU/VA-API acceleration through freshplayerplugin, so that should work, in theory.

Flash for arm? Is there such a thing? 
From what I read on chromium's mailing list the real problem is that no one is working on a vdpau solution. 
As always with open-source  you're free to do it yourself  Angel...... Rrrrright
Edit.... the hardware codec support in chromium OS is done by vaapi, it seems, not by vdpau.
