VPU CedarX drivers for Allwinner H3

@lex · Published in 2016-1-7 06:40:25

Fritz,

The reason i get artifacts on pink (not purple) screen is because i'm running on OPI Plus 2 ( 2 GB RAM)!
It runs fine on OPI-PC and also runs fine with VDPAU 0.7 (H265 removed) on previous mplayer version.

If anyone could help finding the right ion memory config, please, be my guest!

Can you tell if you get sound output to hdmi while using mpv?
I have sndhdmi working but cannot get sound output (hdmi and pcm) with mpv or mplayer, alsa is working when tested, any suggestion?

@ @alex: have you looked at /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf ?
may be the default audio ouput is set to oss.

@lex (and others too), please report such libvdpau-sunxi issues at github. They usually can be fixed easily and everyone will be happy, but I don't want to dig through all the different *pi forums to find them.

Hi Tokka,
The sndhdmi is working as expected:

aplay -D hw:1 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

Copy code

humm, maybe is user permission issue? I don't have /etc/mplayer. Anything else i should check? By the way, you have sound output to hdmi?

Yes, i have hdmi sound...but i have only op A20

Are you using a self compiled mplayer, or the default one?
BTW, try to make an "input.conf" file in .mplayer folder (/home/ubuntu/.mplayer/input.conf or /etc/mplayer/input.conf) and try to paste in it

ao=pulse,alsa,sdl:aalib

Copy code

and check if it works.

here is my mplayer.conf if you wanna give a look

@Tokka,
I tried your conf without success, no hdmi sound output.
Since this has nothing to do with video decoding i will stop here, but i would like to hear somenone that has hdmi sound output fully working on H3.

does the VDPAU implementation support encoding of h.264?
