10:08 <wouterstreamit> Hi Im trying to understand hardware video decoding on Rockchip devices. If I understand correctly, mpp is the main library for this, and rockchip maintains a gstreamer plugin for mpp integration. Why is there no ffmpeg integration for mpp? Suppose I use an old version of firefox and get gstreamer to use mppvideodec , what kind of performance can I expect? Can I use rkximagesink somehow to improve performance?

10:52 <wzyy> wouterstreamit, there is a ffmpeg integration for mpp, but not offical, it's community support.

10:54 <wzyy> and it's a bit complicated if you want to use both ffmpeg/gstreamer in other application to get hardware-accelerate.

10:57 <wzyy> You could do some research on firefox, I am also very interested in that....

10:57 <wzyy> = =I didn't find a solution to use gstreamer for html5 video.

11:59 <wouterstreamit> wzyy: Firefox abandoned gstreamer support in version 47.0 in favor of ffmpeg, which chromium uses as well. So doing a lot of work to get gstreamer to use mpp in an old firefox version seems like a waste of time for the future, so I want to use ffmpeg. The best community effort I can find for that is https://github.com/LongChair/FFmpeg which does not have any stable or beta releases (yet) so I am not sure if I can use tha

11:59 <BenG83> Firefox generally is a waste of time :)

11:59 <BenG83> it died years ago

12:02 <wouterstreamit> BenG83: I don't really care about which browser, I just want HW decoding from any browser, and I will need ffmpeg for that - I feel like Firefox is a bit easier to hack (although I have never done anything this involved in either one of them)...

12:03 <BenG83> on ARM I only used Chromium for the last 5 years or so

12:11 <phh> wouterstreamit: that's not entirely true, chromium prefers omx if it's available. and rockchip has an in-house omx based on mpp

12:11 <phh> though not public

12:12 <phh> I mean, they use it for android
