Hello, I am trying to setup BBB to play html5 videos in chromium and output through HDMI to a TV...
The status so far is as follows (Thanks to the images from rcn-ee.net): * Booting Ubuntu 14.10 through a uSD. * Installed the pvr kernel drviers. * Installed the SGX userspace libraries and demos. * The TI SGX SDK Demo 'OGLES2ChameleonMan' is running successfully on the framebuffer. * Xorg is running with 'fbdev' driver * chromium is started with a url from the command line and running modeless on X * The url has a html5 H.264 video and plays albeit too slow and at an unacceptable frame rate. I *believe* that both video decoding and playback are currently done by the CPU rather than using the GPU and the NEON unit. I am trying to get the GPU and NEON to the task and have a few questions: 1) Is it even possible to run a 1080p/720p videos on the beagle bone? 2) Is there a neon optimized ffmpeg codec for the chromium browser? (My use case require the videos to run in the browser rather than in a dedicated media player) 3) Xorg starts only with 'fbdev' driver and not with the 'modesetting' driver... Does this have an impact on the video playback? 4) Also running eglinfo, gles2test1 from X don't work... Does this mean that X is not yet accelerated and does that have impact on chromium's performance? I did do some research in the past one week but I am still very new to the BBB and any help is greatly appreciated.
