Has anyone been able to get gstreamer installed on Vim3 or Vim4?

VIM4
1

Some of the dependencies are not being meet and creating issues that seem be a dead end with ARM64.

Any suggestions to what works good for full screen .mp4 playback. Tried ffmpeg and it is choppy and some other issues even with NVMe drive.

Hello @foxsquirrel

For VIM4, gstreamer already installed by default. You can install the image online with oowow.

Check usage here: VIM4 Hardware Decoding [Khadas Docs]

This is just an example, you don’t have video file bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4 in /home/khadas, please put the video file you want to decoding in /home/khadas and use the correct name.

Thank you for clarifying that, it looks like it is a demo, this might clear that up.

@numbqq

Just tried it and it did not work for me.
This is an untouched fresh install, only addition has been ffmpeg and the test file.

The reference file is fine, it works with $ sudo ffplay

First of all, you need to understand what does this pipe line mean, this pipe line have done two things - mp4 file → NV12 raw format->H265 encode

  • Decode SD24-129.mp4 file to NV12 format
  • Encode NV12 format file to h265 format, file is h264dec.h265

Copy h264dec.h265 to your PC and play the encoded file h264dec.h265, if the video is the same with your reference file then it means work well.

Form the log, it seems work well.

Did not realize that is all it did, assumed it would actually play the .mp4
I might not have been clear enough, need to build an application using gstreamer on the arm board. It has issues getting all the dependencies.
