How-To, non-X11: Get 4K (>2560x1600) framebuffer, DRM, GBM, Kodi on HDMI

I have not yet tested Big Buck Bunny, was not aware of that as a thing, but now I am.
I will download it tonight and see if the rockpro64 can handle it!

rkmpv is an included script in the ayufan images that launches mpv for you with the proper switches on the end.

I edit that script and add my own enhancements/changes.

do this:

Code:

cat `whereis rkmpv`

That will show you what is passed to mpv.
I am remote and can't see mine right now to tell you, so if you cat that script you'll get it.


I also edited the LD library path line in there and removed the '/gbm' part from the end of the path because that wasn't right for my setup.
(My mali libs are not inside sub-directory "gbm" because I don't need multi-lib here)

The part that most people don't have activated is rkvdec, which is disabled in all of the ayufan kernels I've tried so far.
If you do not have rkvdec enabled, then your rkmpv will perform exactly as you described.
If you DO have rkvdec enabled, then your rkmpv should not lose any frames, even at 3840x2160@60.


Enable rkvdec by editing the DTB, then you can use rkmpv.
