Hi All ...
I currently use a media player based on ffplay.c, but have a problem
where HD video playing on an Intel Atom processor is far too slow, and
uses too much CPU time. My understanding is that the problem may be
resolved by using direct hardware decoding via VAAPI/libva. I have
tested VLC compiled with VAAPI support and there is a huge performance
improvement when playing HD video. I'm trying to accomplish something
similar with libav.
Would someone please direct me to documentation and/or some other
explanation of how to perform hardware decoding using VAAPI/libva with
ffmpeg's libav libraries. Code examples would be great. I have no
interest in hardware encoding, only decoding. Unfortunately, several
hours on Google have not yielded any positive results thus far; I'm
probably looking in the wrong places. I have compiled ffmpeg/libav with
VAAPI support. The ffplay.c code has a line that states:
// FIXME use direct rendering
I need to know how to fix that FIXME.
Additional info:
- My media player is based on the 0.11.1 version of ffmpeg's ffplay.c
- My media player has been altered to link against the new 1.0 version
of ffmpeg/libav. However my code is still derived from the ffplay.c
included in ffmpeg 0.11.1.
- The main modification I've made is to render the video via OpenGL
instead of using an overlay. This is a requirement for the project on
which I'm working. The only other major modification is removing the
features of ffplay.c I don't require, which is pretty much everything
aside from the basic decode and render code.
- The code is being developed on Linux. The graphics cards being used
are NVIDIA and Intel i9xxx.
Thanks in advance.
