Video playback (experimental)

This only works on Ubuntu Bionic image.

The ayufan's ppa contains the latest compiled FFmpeg and mpv which allows to use HW video acceleration when properly configured.

The modified FFmpeg includes an h264_rkmpp, hevc_rkmpp, vp8_rkmpp and vp9_rkmpp video decoders.

Latest releases (>= 0.6.25)

Requirements

  • libmali-rk-utgard-450-r7p0 installed, at least the 1.6-1ayufan9
  • linux-rock64-package installed, at least the `0.6.25``
  • linux-image installed, at least the 4.4.112-rockchip-ayufan-191

You can check package version with apt-cache policy linux-rock64-package.

Use

Use rkmpv that will configure mpv for HW accelerated video playback:

rkmpv file.mkv

For older releases (< 0.6.25)

Install

First, install needed packages

apt-get install ffmpeg mpv libmali-rk-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm

Keep in mind that installing libmali-rk-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm will make GLES not working, as this is the only library that allows us to use DRM/atomic which allows fully accelerated video decoding in fullscreen.

If you want to bring back support for GLES in X11, ensure to revert back to:

apt-get install libmali-rk-utgard-450-r7p0

Verify

Make sure that you use correct versions of FFmpeg and mpv from ayufan's ppa with apt-cache policy ffmpeg mpv:

ffmpeg:
  Installed: 7:3.5~git20180113-1ayufan2
  Candidate: 7:3.5~git20180113-1ayufan2
  Version table:
 *** 7:3.5~git20180113-1ayufan2 990
        990 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ayufan/rock64-ppa/ubuntu bionic/main arm64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     7:3.4.2-1 500
        500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic/universe arm64 Packages
mpv:
  Installed: 0.28.0-1ayufan3
  Candidate: 0.28.0-1ayufan3
  Version table:
 *** 0.28.0-1ayufan3 990
        990 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ayufan/rock64-ppa/ubuntu bionic/main arm64 Packages

     0.27.0-2ubuntu4 500
        500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic/universe arm64 Packages

Run

mpv --vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm --hwdec=rkmpp video.mkv

It will start fullscreen video playback. You should see something like this:

Playing: video.mkv
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x640 23.976fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (aac 2ch 44100Hz)
     Subs  --sid=1 --slang=eng (subrip)
[vo/gpu] VT_GETMODE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[vo/gpu/opengl] Failed to set up VT switcher. Terminal switching will be unavailable.
[vo/gpu/opengl] Could not choose EGLConfig!
mpi: mpp version: Without VCS, under bleeding
AO: [pulse] 44100Hz stereo 2ch float
Using hardware decoding (rkmpp).
VO: [gpu] 1280x640 drm_prime[nv12]
...

Alternative way

It is possible to have GLES2 and MPV working without reinstalling the package over and over.

mkdir -p /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gbm
cd /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gbm
wget https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/libmali/raw/rockchip/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libmali-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm.so
ln -sf libmali-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm.so libMali.so
ln -sf libmali-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm.so libgbm.so
ln -sf libmali-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm.so libgbm.so.1
ln -sf libmali-utgard-450-r7p0-gbm.so libgbm.so.1.0.0

And then using LD_PRELOAD_PATH to instruct mpv to use different library:

LD_PRELOAD_PATH=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gbm mpv --vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm --hwdec=rkmpp video.mkv
