VPU CedarX drivers for Allwinner H3

Hi Fritz,

I installed your mpv version after i installed jacer version.
Can you print the mplayer output for the simtel trailer mp4 so i could have a look?
Mplayer is the stock version.

I will print the dependencies error, so you can give some suggestion. I have never played with different package version on LTS, just to maintain stability, i am not a user per si.

Meanwhile i restored an old version and compiled libvdpau-sunxi against old libdpau-dev (0.7 version) and got the same result with mplayer.
Do you use loboris kernel (soft float) or SDK legacy kernel with Hard float?

Normaly I don't use Debian based images.
I have downloaded only for testing some months ago the first lubuntu (0.8) version from the download section.
I dont have other debian based images. Kernel is the "stock" one.
@jacer's mpv-package is not compiled on 14.04 probably it's for 15.04 or newer, that's why you had dependencies issues.
You should remove the old package before you triy to install a new one.
Have you tried with mpv 0.14 or with the mplayer from my shared folder?
My shared H3 folder

So you don't have it anymore?
I usually build my Lubuntu from scratch and stays with LTS for good reasons and don't play with .deb.

Back to the Lubuntu with dependencies problems, here is the mess i did.

Updated libvdpau:

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvdpau/libvdpau1_1.1.1-3_armhf.deb
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvdpau/libvdpau-dev_1.1.1-3_armhf.deb
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vdpauinfo/vdpauinfo_1.0-1+b1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libvdpau1_1.1.1-3_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libvdpau-dev_1.1.1-3_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i vdpauinfo_1.0-1+b1_armhf.de

Copy code

b

Compiled libvdpau-sunxi and installed.

git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libvdpau-sunxi.git
cd libvdpau-sunxi
make
sudo make install

Copy code

Gave permission to "ion", "video" and "cedar_dev"

Then the mess:
sudo dpkg -i mpv_0.13.0_armhf.deb_by\@jacer

and later:
sudo dpkg -i mpv_0.13.0_armhf.deb

Downloaded sample and played:

wget http://download.blender.org/durian/trailer/sintel_trailer-1080p.mp4
export VDPAU_DRIVER=sunxi
mplayer -fs -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau, sintel_trailer-1080p.mp4

Copy code

so now i have:
mpv -- version
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libvo-amrwbenc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt-get -f remove mpv

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
p11-kit-modules : Depends: libp11-kit0 (= 0.20.2-2ubuntu2) but 0.20.7-1 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Any idea how to remove this and install the 0.14?

Well tryed to "simulate" this on my lubuntu 14.04, but remove works:

Have you tried to use:
sudo apt-get -f install with no packages?

Fritz,
Ok, i admit, that was a noobie thing, that worked.

Next move:

sudo dpkg -i mpv_0.14.0_armhf.deb

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

@lex · Published in 2016-1-6 07:58:34

Fritz, is there any specific kernel config or parameter i should pass to kernel? Maybe i should start over with the distro you downloaded, could you please give the link?

fritz · Published in 2016-1-6 08:30:46

You have broken packages, try to fix it first:
try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

Fritz,
I got rid of the broken packages, installed your mpv 0.14, but still same purple screen with artifacts being displayed.
Next thing to believe is "permission issues", double checked.
I have compiled the kernel with eabihf, perhaps this breaks cedarx, or the sync screen message issue i receive from time to time could be the culprit, who knows.

Anyway, can you share your SD card image on your g. folder so i could have a look?
