Title: Hardware accelerated video playback in Linux

RK3288 supports hardware accelerated video playback and I can see that in Android H.264 and HEVC videos are being played with h/w acceleration ¨C 4K looks amazing! However I cannot achieve such performance in Ubuntu. Built-in Mplayer and VLC both seem to lag greatly due to using software decoding.


Is h/w accelerated video playback available in Linux? What I need is a full-screen player for network streams (UDP/RTP), ideally it should work with interlaced video and output it via HDMI in interlaced mode.

Would greatly appreciate input from anyone experienced in that matters, thank you!

No, it's not available.

It's on schedule according to Rockchip.

Android Lollipop is also going to be released before Chinese New Year festival.

If you only need a full-screen player .you can try 2d-accelerated with rga and lcdc scale .I have tried once ,it's work well.
