H264 video encoding support
This goal requires a funding target of 44000 EUR (i.e 13200 EUR in addition to the main goal of 17600 EUR and the previous stretch goals of 4400 EUR and 8800 EUR)

 

 

Since they raised only around 30.000 EUR this might not be done.

On h3 it is working fine, but they tell h5 is not tested.

H3 and old kernel. Yes, that is possible while on H5 we only have/use a modern kernel. And for it, there is no video acceleration support whatsoever. Yet.

Yes. i have tried to build custom kernel of sunxi but no success yet. Igor, can i have any contact of you, to ask some questions there. if there are. thanks.

@Igor Could you please recommend me a single board with h264 encoding support. the nano pi plus 2 was fine becouse it has builtin memory, but as i see kernel does not support yet. thanks in advnace.

Which sunxi kernel are you talking about? H3 version must work while support for H5 is not existing. There is some Allwinner legacy kernel v3.10 but it is not supported and not possible to build just like that. It's dirty code with some Allwinner proprietary code.

I answer only here: if I know the answer, want and have time for that.

I  don't deal with this at all but perhaps somebody else on the forum could add their experiences. I only know there is not possible on Allwinner with a modern kernel. 

thanks a lot for support!!!

Still there is no encoding out of the box, though there was a patched FFmpeg version with experimental encoding support.
