Orange Pi 5-Plus: MiniArch-EndeavourOS Gnome Desktop - Firefox, Chromium or MPV No VPU Hardware Acceleration

[JFLim1]

Hi Piotr Oniszczuk,

Just install MiniArch EndeavourOS with Gnome desktop environment on Orange Pi 5-Plus. Firefox_v133 or Chromium_v131 both don't seem to have vpu hw acceleration when streaming Youtube h264 videos.

chromium default-flags.conf:

--incognito
--ozone-platform-hint=auto
#--use-gl=egl
--show-component-extension-options
--enable-gpu-rasterization
--no-default-browser-check
--disable-pings
--media-router=0
# Enable V4L2 decoding and  NV12 direct rendering
--enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecoder,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL

Installed mpv and yt-dlp. No luck with vpu hardware acceleration with mpv too.

Had followed the instructions to Install MiniArch and EndeavourOS.as set out in "Quick Start". Is there any other settings or packages needed to be installed to have VPU hardware acceleration on Firefox, Chromium and mpv?

Happy New Year.

Miniarch uses the same kernel like MiniMyth2 and hw accell decode works for me well (i'm using it daily for HD tv watching)

I think issue might be at v4l2_request at chromium building.
Are you sure that your chromium build correctly detects/uses v4l2_request offered by kernel?

Am using the Chromium from alarm-repo and currently is Version 131.0.6778.204 (Official Build) Arch Linux ARM (64-bit). Am not sure whether v4l2_request is included.

Does mpv support v4l2_request?

[warpme]

Yes - mpv supports v4l2_request
Here is output from mpv 0.39 playing h264 video
(i not provided drm_plane id - so only hw decondig is in use; there is no DMA transfers of decoded video frame to framebuffer)
