HW decoding (1920x1080 H264) with cedrus

Instructions

• If you have attempted to install Cedrus/vdpau previously, remove it completely!

• Clone this repo:

  git clone https://github.com/avafinger/cedrusH264_vdpau_A64
  

• Install it:

  cd cedrusH264_vdpau_A64
  sudo dpkg -i cedrusH264_vdpau_1.0-1.deb 
  

• Reboot or shutdown depending which board you have

  sudo reboot
  or
  sudo shutdown -h
  

• After rebooting or restarting your board you can test MP4 H264 (big buck bunny for example) with mplayer without sound to make sure cedrus is working!

  mplayer-mute big_buck_bunny_1080p_H264_AAC_25fps_7200K.MP4 
  

• To play with sound (output to hdmi)

  mplayer-hdmi big_buck_bunny_1080p_H264_AAC_25fps_7200K.MP4 
  

• If you are brave, you can setup audiocodec (JACK), when ready:

  mplayer-jack big_buck_bunny_1080p_H264_AAC_25fps_7200K.MP4
