Youtube-dl looks like a downloader tho.

It can pipe a video "online" to a player (i.e. mpv). Also some versions of mpv can play youtube videos by URL natively or with help of youtube-dl.

Also SMplayer can be used as a more "user friendly" GUI for mpv, but it still requires copy-pasting the URL, and SMtube as a  "youtube browser" is too crippled IMO.

No way for a video overlay in a plugin? Theoretically? Or WIP?

In theory - possible. Practically - not implemented, not even WIP.

Too sad.

Same thing with flash? games etc.

Hey, maybe you'll help further.

 

Any way I try mpv, I get Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 25.

Noticed that I don't have /dev/cedar_dev despite CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI_CEDAR=y in the kernel (included in armbian image, 3.4.113-sun7i).

I tried to create the device, sunxi_cedar_mod cedar_dev c243:0 in /lib/modules/modules.devname, and then I get Bus error with mpv.

What am I doing wrong?

libcedrus, libvdpau, libvdpau-sunxi built from sources, no errors.

 

Thank you.

 

EDIT: solved, sorry. Put sunxi_ve_mem_reserve in wrong place. Should be in boot.cmd.

Same thing, what your sunxi_ve_mem_reserve value?

 

update.

I can't find any cedar modules with 4.11.6-sunxi kernel.

No support for this feature in the modern kernel yet. It's also written at the download page and some other places.
