How can I play the FHD movie file using hardware decoder with VLC player on ubun

jykwun

Hi all,

I am newbie using RK3288.

As soon as I receive the RK3288, I've installed the VLC with 'apt-get install vlc' to play FHD movie file.

But i've noticed something is wrong.(can't play or too slow)

Is this related to method of using hardware decoder?

How can i play well with VLC player?

Linux on Firefly-RK3288 doesn't have VPU hardware video decoding, so if you watch any high-res video it will be too slow or broken. The user "mac_l1" figured out how to do hardware video decoding on Linux with RK3288, so if you install his version of machybris / mackodi, you won't have video acceleration in VLC but you can atleast watch many videos in Kodi / XBMC with hardware video decoding and video rendering! eg: run the Install MacKodi script at http://mac-l1.com/
