Do the blobs works? Early was said that there was some issues.

Now, you say. When the first working implementation of libvdpau-sunxi was in the end of august of 2013, that is more than 2.5 years ago. But there are still "blind" people in random places of the internet, that makes the statement of "there isn't hardware accelerated decoding in linux(version gnu) in sunxi". And this is a recent example, just from last months. Do people are so desperate for the _gratis_ things that they ignore the existence of the work for a full 100% libre and open source software. > You what to know why ? Because, it works. It works, because it is full 100% libre and open source software, if there are bugs(issues), we have the means to fix it. With the binary-blobs-with-random-license-issues, this is not possible. > If we keep fighting license issues, it just delays to have a solution > that works. The license-issues is the problem.

That is easy, just what is need is for someone to do the need work. There isn't any technical difficulty, only is need time to do it. Please help us(the cedrus people), so that we can arrange the time to do it. > SOCs, I can see more and more "image builders", like Armbian and > others to adopt such a solution instead of Blobs. > > Keep a halt at development until Licenses are resolved, it is not the > best proposition, IMHO. There is not any halt. Just prioritizing by doing other things. But again. The license-issues are the problem and the reason, for why this linux-sunxi community is not doing more. As everyone can see as example, the hdmi driver(H3) can't be mainlined because, (everyone guessed?), the license-issues. > > Anyway, I just published what I have done. > > For my projects, a way back I've got the same conclusion, like Jon, > and went with H.264 cameras, and gave up on AW encoder. > > My thought with releasing the code, was if someone would pick up and > do some experiments with other Codecs, not just H.264. > > I am willing to help with any initiative that is totally open source.
