How do I get a desktop running on this (legacy)? It only outputs a shell on the video out

 

Additionally, is the hw video decoder enabled?

 

Armbian_5.30_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113

Build a new (full) image with desktop enabled:

 

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/boards/orangepizero.conf

 

BUILD_DESKTOP="yes"

DESKTOP_TARGET="xenial:default,next"

 

Thanks.

 

Desktop works but HW video decoding doesn't, I just get a black window - the same video works on my OpiPC.

Does VDPAU support TV out/CVBS?

 

Using: Armbian_5.35_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113_desktop

Cedrus hw enc/dec do not work for me (OPiZero). It would be useful in a new armbian release: i.e. hw mjpeg/h264 acceleration in ffmpeg.

Thank you!
I'll try with "extraargs=cma=96M".

I updated to head and recompiled and still have a black screen.

 

Do I need to edit the kernel config? CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES is set to 16

 

edit: appears not, this is from dmesg
 

 cma: CMA: reserved 128 MiB at 58000000

Kernal Command Line: ... cma=96M

 

I tested on A20 and I only need to add extraargs=cma=96M to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and the video playing was back.

Did you have any success?

No, I don't. I've upgrade my pi zero to Armbian 5.35 (Jessie, default kernel, vdpau installed) but ffmpeg still not accelerated.

I'll try next month with a fresh Strech install... I need an updated version of ffmpeg and motion (damn transcode!).

Hardware acceleration methods:
vdpau

Stock FFmpeg is not supposed to be accelerated. There are 3rd party FFmpeg sources that have limited Cedrus acceleration support, but we don't build and package them.

Isn't cedrus acceleration (vdpau) mainlined in ffmpeg? Only in 2.8.x or also in 3.x?
Standard ffmpeg gained vdpau acceleration in 2009...

vdpau - possibly, don't know exactly (I mean it was added a long time ago, no idea in which version exactly). Cedrus - no.

libvdpau-sunxi implements only small and limited subset of VDPAU features, so it works with mplayer/mpv for video decoding but I don't remember if anybody made it work with FFmpeg (except for patched FFmpeg sources that bypass VDPAU and use /dev/cedar_dev directly)

I have VDPAU working on TVout on the opi zero.

 

VDPAU only works on screen0. opizero is set to use screen1 by default, but both are configured to PAL/TVOUT. setting VDPAU_SCREEN=1 had no effect so I just changed the fex to: disp_mode=0
