Support H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) ffmpeg hardware decode/encode on OrangePi 5

artem-zinnatullin commented 1 year ago

Hi!

I'm trying to get ffmpeg -hwaccel drm to work so both decoding and encoding of H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) videos can happen with hardware acceleration on OrangePi 5 with its Mali G610 GPU.

References:

My understanding is that Mali G610 supports hardware accelerated encoding/decoding for H.265 and H.264, however I can't seem to get it fully working.

apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg
# This brings tons of packages including mali-g610-firmware

Now let's list relevant available HW decoders:

ffmpeg -decoders | grep -i rkmpp
 V..... av1_rkmpp            av1 (rkmpp) (codec av1)
 V..... h263_rkmpp           h263 (rkmpp) (codec h263)
 V..... h264_rkmpp           h264 (rkmpp) (codec h264)
 V..... hevc_rkmpp           hevc (rkmpp) (codec hevc)
 V..... mpeg1_rkmpp          mpeg1 (rkmpp) (codec mpeg1video)
 V..... mpeg2_rkmpp          mpeg2 (rkmpp) (codec mpeg2video)
 V..... mpeg4_rkmpp          mpeg4 (rkmpp) (codec mpeg4)
 V..... vp8_rkmpp            vp8 (rkmpp) (codec vp8)
 V..... vp9_rkmpp            vp9 (rkmpp) (codec vp9)

Now let's list relevant available HW encoders:

ffmpeg -encoders | grep -i omx
 V..... h264_omx             OpenMAX IL H.264 video encoder (codec h264)
 V..... mpeg4_omx            OpenMAX IL MPEG-4 video encoder (codec mpeg4)

So it appears we have HW H.265 (decoder only??) and HW H.264 decoder and encoder for Mali G610.

Let's try to convert a video from H.265 to H.264:

Input test video: https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h265 (I use first 1080p 1MB video)

ffmpeg -hwaccel drm -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i test-h265.mp4 -c:v h264_omx test-out-h264.mp4

# Some output omitted, here are important bits

# The input stream is H.265 HEVC
Stream #0:0(und): Video: hevc (hev1 / 0x31766568), yuv420p(progressive), 1920x1080, 834 kb/s

# Input decoder picked is HW accelerated and output encoder is also HW accelerated implementations
# otherwise it would've been (hevc (native) -> h264 (libx264)) where "native" and "libx264" indicates CPU implementations
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (hevc_rkmpp) -> h264 (h264_omx))

# !!! H.264 output encoder fails due to missing libOMX_Core and ffmpeg errors out !!!
[h264_omx @ 0xaaaac0d2c700] libOMX_Core.so not found
[h264_omx @ 0xaaaac0d2c700] libOmxCore.so not found
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
Conversion failed!

If I remove HW output encoder, it will successfully run on SW encoder (eating all CPU) and HW input decoder:

ffmpeg -hwaccel drm -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i test-h265.mp4 test-h264.mp4

So the HW H.265 input decoder seems to work, but HW H.264 output encoder doesn't!

Now let's try to convert a video from H.264 to H.265

Input test video: https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h264 (I use first 1080p 1MB video)

ffmpeg -hwaccel drm -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i test-h264.mp4 -c:v libx265 test-out-h265.mp4

# Some output omitted, here are important bits

# The input stream is H.264
Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 832 kb/s

# Input decoder picked is HW accelerated however output  encoder is SW because we don't seem to have HW output encoder built in this ffmpeg build
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (h264_rkmpp) -> hevc (libx265))

# Conversion is very slow and eats all available CPU due to SF output encoding
frame=  167 fps=1.5 q=28.1 size=     256kB time=00:00:02.26 bitrate= 925.3kbits/s dup=0 drop=1 speed=0.02x

TL;TR: as of Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip:v1.19 HW input decoding of H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) works, but HW output encoding of H.264 and H.265 doesn't I think.

It seems that for H.264 HW output encoding we need libOMX_Core.so in the distro and it's unclear (to me) where can one get it
It seems that for H.265 (HEVC) HW output encoding we need ffmpeg built with that encoder support (another apt-get ppa for ffmpeg?)

HW decoding/encoding is essential for popular use case of OrangePi 5 boards — Frigate NVR and other similar cases when the board needs to efficiently encode/decode video streams.

I don't think video encoding works with rkmpp provided by Rockchip. However, I could be wrong about this. My primary knowledge base is with the kernel and on the os level.

The source for ffmpeg can be found at the below ppa. https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia/+packages

Joshua-Riek commented 1 year ago

I found some information that might be of some help. Also, some ffmpeg forks might have working HW encoding.

HW H.265 and H.264 encoding now works with parameters: -c:v h264_rkmpp_encoder and -c:v hevc_rkmpp_encoder

@colornoise42 is that without adding further packages?

Can anyone advise on encode performance for a camera connected to OPi5+? System usage, 1080p60, 4k

StuartIanNaylor commented 6 months ago

So if you ffmpeg -decoders | grep rkmpp you get nothing ? If not then likely better asking on https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/6914#issuecomment-1607953573
