there is an "Samsung tv driver for S5P" that has Samsung Mixer and video Processor Driver, i suppose that v4l stuff is inside
<leowt>
but if i only enable that, and not the hdmi driver related to the tv driver
<leowt>
it doesnt allow to select drm hdmi driver
<liquidAcid>
iirc for gstreamer you need an eglsink, so it won't work on mainline anyway
<leowt>
liquidAcid, you mean no DRM at all?
<leowt>
can you explain?
<liquidAcid>
what's to explain?
<liquidAcid>
afaik there's no xvideo support in the armsoc ddx
<leowt>
liquidAcid, why it wont work on mainline
<Wizzup>
leowt: because you could need mali
<liquidAcid>
and the drm sink never made it upstream
<leowt>
i am using fbdev anyways
<leowt>
i see
<leowt>
then, what could i do to make it work with gst?
<leowt>
another tree?
<liquidAcid>
native fbdev, or the drm emulated one?
<leowt>
liquidAcid, drm one
<liquidAcid>
well, good luck with watching video on that one (no vsync)
<leowt>
liquidAcid, ok, so then what tree should i use?
<leowt>
so i can get it right
<liquidAcid>
the vendor supplied tree?
<leowt>
lolol
<leowt>
the one that was a nasty rebase from an old odroid one and mfc is not working correctly
<leowt>
=P
<leowt>
that is my problem
<leowt>
the only kernel i have from vendor is an ultra nasty outdated kernel
<liquidAcid>
my advice if you want a small device which runs linux and provides efficient video decoding: get an intel nuc, full mainline support ootb and vaapi support with all major applications
<liquidAcid>
not the atom nucs, one of the i3 or i5 ones
<leowt>
liquidAcid, it is an overkill for me :/
afaerber__ has joined #linux-exynos
<leowt>
i was directed to exynos because supposedly it good mainline support :/
<leowt>
*it had
<leowt>
now i am broken
<leowt>
:/
<liquidAcid>
well, good is relative
<liquidAcid>
it's mediocre to bad when compared to e.g. intel
<leowt>
liquidAcid, the only thing i want is to be able to play h264 files with gst, no more
<leowt>
i have rpis doing the job, but i want internal flash, not sd cards
afaerber_ has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<liquidAcid>
<leowt> now i am broken <- save some money, get an nuc, be happy :)
<leowt>
liquidAcid, i want arm =P, just because
<leowt>
i have to try i.mx6 yet
<liquidAcid>
then you also have to live with the disadvantages
<liquidAcid>
seriously, if you just want to watch h264 encoded material, then just get one of these cheap android sticks that do the job
<leowt>
liquidAcid, linux, gstreamer and h264 hw, ultra low power and small, not x86 and nand/emmc
<leowt>
those are the requierements
<leowt>
it is not to watch video as a home entertainment sistem
<leowt>
else i would do just that
<liquidAcid>
what if you just can't satisfy the requirements?
<leowt>
liquidAcid, the only thing i could not find for now was good gst and hw decoding and nand/emmc
<leowt>
ate the same time
<WarheadsSE>
iMX6 can do hardware h264 decoding @ 1080p
<leowt>
i could do h264 decoding containerless with sunxi stuff, but no gst
<leowt>
WarheadsSE, i know, but i have to ask for others experience
<leowt>
else i will be doing the same mistake ive done with exynos
<WarheadsSE>
I have a device doing dual-hdmi 1080p @ 60fps
<WarheadsSE>
But, thats custom hardware.
<liquidAcid>
WarheadsSE, looks like you have a potential buyer here *g*
<WarheadsSE>
I can't sell that hardware, isn't mine :P
<liquidAcid>
darn!
<WarheadsSE>
I know, I know
<leowt>
if it is not sold for less than 100$ i dont buy xD
<leowt>
hah
* WarheadsSE
sigh
<leowt>
WarheadsSE, what is the status of mainline support for imx6?
<WarheadsSE>
decent
<leowt>
how do imx do the board differenciation?
<WarheadsSE>
Freescale does work to commit directly where it can. They're slowly working to get the GPU capable of working to track mainline vs having to essentially roll up every 0.x+4
<leowt>
cool
<WarheadsSE>
DTB
<leowt>
so basically every one using odoird is stuck on 3.8 for mfc usage?
