Confusion about if Im using libhybris or not #2

Open ikeeki opened 10 years ago

ikeeki commented 10 years ago

Hi, Im trying to see if I'm using or not that lib. I cannot understand if it is absolutely neccessary to have android or not in NAND due to my lack of knoledge of English, so I'd need to know how to perform a test or similar to check that out. I can play the sintel trailer before and after applying this guide:

http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX/libve

I've vdpau and cedarx installed and working in cubiuntu.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

It's not necessary to have Android in NAND if you can get the android cedarx blobs from some other source (for example https://github.com/allwinner-dev-team/android_external_cedarx). And the libhybris wrapper is only useful for VLC and XBMC, which currently need the proprietary cedarx blobs.

VDPAU is using a completely different open source decoder implementation and does not rely on any blobs. MPlayer can use VDPAU.

Thanks for the answer, sorry to hear you won't give support on explaining debug issues in the libhybris libve wrapper, I'm not that fast, anyway it is an honour a person like you comes sometimes and gives some light in the dark world of armhf devices :+1:

@ikeeki trying to debug and workaround issues in incomplete and buggy XBMC/VLC cedarx ports and in buggy libve libraries (with unpredictable ABI changes) just does not make much sense. That was a temporary stop-gap solution, which does not have any future. Now we have a much better open source alternative.

I suppose you mean http://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus. The thing is that under the same kernel and memory config (cubiuntu 1.11) Im able to play 1080p files with vlc in 1920x1080p50 video output and not with mplayer+cedrus in same circumstances..., but anyways It does seems to be the alternative... even if mplayer2 is announced to be more and more abandoned and that, as for now, mpv only has cli (not tested, at least by me) and slave mode seems to be broken... Do not missundertand me, I know what open source means, it is just I feel sorry for what I saw as a great opportunity (sadly I'm not a real developer, just kind of a rom cook)

Ok, I've just noticed that vdpau works pretty well when launched from console, (usin mpv) buuuuuut having killed previously xorg/xfce4 (and lightdm) to have no run-out-of-memory messages from terminal. So, you are correct (as usually), vdpau is the way.
