force software mpeg2 decoding, because of missing mpeg2 hardware decoder on raspberry 4 #2

Closed dbloms closed 3 years ago

dbloms commented 4 years ago

I can watch HD material, but no mpeg2 encoded SD material. I try this plugin with vdr 2.4.4 on a raspberry 4 (debian buster). The raspberry 4 doesn't have a hardware mpeg decoder, so I have to use a software one. It would be nice to have a switch to force software mpeg2 decoding.

Here some lines of the logfile, when I switching to an mpeg2 encoded video stream:

MMAL is a proprietary api. No more new code in mmal branch. Only debug. I wait until v4l2 API for Raspberry is ready to use and FFmpeg can deal with it. Then it will run in drm branch.

Please use softhddevice-drm without MMAL switch. You need the ffmpeg version from LE and a newer kernel. This work on Rpi4 yet.
