Another note... disabling h265 just seems to apply to the libvdpau-dev version in the lubuntu apt re ...

I think we should build OpenMAX player for H3.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMAX

Just testet with Lubuntu Vivid and it seems to work. Follow these instructions:

I think you mean this command. The libvdpau_sunxi.so.1 file should be here.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/vdpau/libvdpau_sunxi.so.1 /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so

How to use the H3 head files?

Just testet with Lubuntu Vivid and it seems to work. Follow these instructions:

@rangarid
there are some errors in your How to, tried myself wit a debian based distro (lubuntu).
The problem is that you need a newer libvdpau and newer mplayer to make HEVC work.
maybe I post a corrected How-to later this evening.

I know that, i wrote that in the next post. But for H264 it works as in my tutorial. Ubuntu 15.04 has libvdpau 1.1 which supports h265, there the h265 changes are not needed. I had a 14.04 version, there it was necessary.

does libcedarx work on H3?
if so, I assume it would use less cpu resources.

I try to use mpv running with libvdpau-sunxi to play big_buck_bunny_1080p_H264_AAC_25fps_7200K, and it takes ~30% of each core.
it is bit high, isn't it?

How did you install? Care to share?
