Hi Miguel, no, currently there is no (direct) support for libva, but it may be indirectly used with the FFMPEG AVC444 decoder backend.
Currently the biggest obstacle there is the custom YUV to RGB filter for the AVC444 mode, which is done CPU only. Accelerating older RGB modes will most likely not be possible though, as they use custom codecs not really supported by hardware. >From my point of view libva support will only be half of the work as the main problem currently is the lack of GPU accelerated filter/image manipulation necessary after the video decoding is already complete. But, of course, getting a speedup is always what we're looking for, so maybe we can find some way. best Armin On 05/17/2018 08:01 PM, Miguel Amez via FreeRDP-devel wrote: > Hi list, > > I'm new to this list, so maybe I comunicate in an inadequate way my > suggestion/development idea: > > We have been using xfreerdp in our school for 3 years with Allwinner A20 > chipsets quite succesfully, and it has supposed a great power consuption > decreasement for us.
