Hi,
See: https://github.com/mac-l1/machybris_examples/blob/master/recorder/h264recorder.cpp#L158. ...

Hi mac_l1:
can you give me screenrecoderh264 for testing HW encoder

mac_l1

Attached zip file with two files in it (one binary, one shell script).
Use the script to capture the screen, the recording is stopped by pressing a key:

1. ./screenrecord_h264.sh test.mp4

Copy the code

You should have installed machybris before, and also avconv (sudo apt-get install libav-tools).

Every frame is captured from framebuffer device /dev/fb0. Using shared memory this RGB frame is converted to YUV420SP / NV21 format using the RGA hardware module. This YUV frame is then given to the encoder using the raw vpu api that generates an h264 bitstream. After key-press this h264 bitstream file is then encapsulated into a movie-container (mp4 in this case) by avconv utility.

You can see some android logging by:

1. sudo /system/bin/logcat

Copy the code

You can see some kernel logging by:

1. sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

Copy the code

Hope this helps.


Cheers -- mac_l1

@mac_l1, @isle,

Do you think that it's possible to add 4K support (maybe with display improvement) ?
I can't see in sourcecode where 4K is forbidden ! Can you show me where i can find such thing ?

Hi fd101283.
the 4k video  hasn't be  forbbidened on this sourcecode.  
but when playing 4k video ,the ffplay sometimes get rong video width&height .like "avctx->width=0 & avctx->height=0";in the initializtion function "rkdec_prepare".
so you need give them the width&height  value before "rkdec_ctx->ctx->init".
after init is done ,the decoder works. Now your can get the real width&height "pframe->DisplayWidth" by "rkdec_ctx->vpu_mem_link(&pframe->vpumem);".
this is what I get. when i playing 4k videos.

If someone can make the display woking well on 4k.that must be excellent.
But if you just need deocode with 4k , display with HD or FHD. you can use rga to do downscale.thay is a way to get 4k woks.
haha!

Hi Isle,

Thanks alot for the explanation...It's very great job that you've done.

I try to modify source code in order to decode 4K. As a result i always get errors before decoding. This is the log :

Oh,
"[hevc_rkvpu @ 0xb39044a0] PPS id out of range: 0"
This is very strange.
have you try another 4k video ?and get the some mistake?  

fd101283

Yes, the same stream works well with android player...
And i also try with some other stream and it give the same problem...

fd101283
