Yep, optimizations are disabled. I get the same error when compiling ffmpeg without optimizations. They need to be enabled.

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - eckonator - 2016-03-13

Okay, i jumped into the folder and run

Code:
./configure --prefix=/root/test/xbmc/tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-install --extra-version=kodi-2.8.6-Jarvis-16.0 --disable-devices --disable-ffplay --disable-ffmpeg --disable-sdl --disable-ffprobe --disable-ffserver --disable-doc --enable-gpl --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-postproc --enable-vaapi --enable-vdpau --enable-bzlib --enable-gnutls --enable-muxer=spdif --enable-muxer=adts --enable-muxer=asf --enable-muxer=ipod --enable-encoder=ac3 --enable-encoder=aac --enable-encoder=wmav2 --enable-protocol=http --enable-libvorbis --enable-muxer=ogg --enable-encoder=libvorbis --enable-nonfree --enable-pthreads --enable-zlib --disable-mips32r2 --disable-mipsdspr1 --disable-mipsdspr2 --enable-libdcadec --enable-optimizations

after that i run

Code:
make -j2

it compiles at the monent. In my Theorie, next step is to run a make install and after that, try compile kodi again?

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - tom81 - 2016-03-13

Nope, you don't need to configure and build ffmpeg manually. Just start from scratch and re-configure kodi with "--enable-optimizations" added.

Tom, next Question Smile

I Try to compile your libcedarjpeg. But i get this error

Code:
root@cubietruck:~/libcedarjpeg# make

Can you help me in this problem, too?

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - tom81 - 2016-03-13

Have you installed the patched libump (i.e. this one https://github.com/mosterta/libump/tree/mosterta/master) ?

for the ump error, see the fix in my repo https://github.com/rellla/libump/commits/ump
For the kernel you did right. You have to apply the 2 ump patches on top of your preferred kernel branch or use mosterta's branch and redo commit cf07273 in here https://github.com/mosterta/linux-sunxi/commits/ump_sunxi-3.4
I have neither compiled the other dependencies nor kodi itself. I just needed the ump thing fr another task.

Hope this helps you in the meantime.

I used Relllas libump, because the libump from Mosterta didn't work for me. Confused

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - tom81 - 2016-03-13

You need the patched one from mosterta, you'll have to find out how to compile it...

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - eckonator - 2016-03-13

Tom, the configuration and building ffmpg was ok. Now i started to compile kodi. But it fails here:

Idea what's wrong? I think compiling kodi on cubietruck is a never ending story for me Sad

I get it working now. The original libUMP.so was already in /usr/lib. So, i overrite this with my own libUmp.so Files from /usr/local/lib. After this i was able to build libcedarjpg. Make works, but not make install. I copied the generated libcedarJpeg.so to /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib and the cedarJpegLib.h to /usr/include/ and /usr/local/include. Hope, this was the right way. Huh

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - tom81 - 2016-03-14

You need different EGL headers. Get them from here: https://github.com/codesnake/aml-mali/tree/master/include (only the header files, the Mali libs from sunxi-mali are fine).

That's only the first part of the story. If you managed to compile and install it, the real fun begins... Big Grin

Thanks Tom, this might be the important tip Smile

For those who running into the same problems as me, here is my step-by-step in which way i was installing the different parts to run kodi:

Code:

And here is my config to setup Kodi:

Code:
./configure --config-cache --prefix=/usr/local --disable-x11 --disable-sdl --disable-xrandr --disable-joystick --disable-gl --enable-vdpau --disable-vaapi --disable-openmax --enable-neon --enable-gles --disable-mysql --enable-airplay --enable-airtunes --enable-debug --enable-optimizations --with-ffmpeg=force --with-platform=allwinner-mali

I try this stuff on a Cubietruck with Armbian and replaced Kernel build from my own.

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - twisted_tits - 2016-03-14

Here is my way to compile everything what's described in first post including deb-packages, missing headers and additional changes.

PS. deb-packages for armhf

Hi, i have compiled and installed Kodi without any errors. Wow Laugh

But, now i try to start Kodi and get the following error:

This means that there are still Mesa libraries (libEGL) installed and in the way. Check that you only have libEGL belonging to the Mali driver on your system.

Kodi says that it cannot access the disp interface it uses for display modesetting. Check that the following modules are loaded:

disp
ump
disp_ump
mali
sunxi_cedar_mod

Some of those might not exist if they're built into the kernel. /dev/disp, /dev/ump and /dev/mali should exist.

Edit: Remember to

Code:
export VDPAU_DRIVER=sunxi

or Kodi will look for the NVIDIA vdpau driver...

RE: hardware acceleration on allwinner A10/A20 with vdpau and OpenGLES (zero-copy) - eckonator - 2016-03-15

I get the first problem away by doing the following;

Add environment variable VDPAU_DRIVER=sunxi in /etc/environment.

Add udev rules for change the permission on /dev/disp and /dev/cedar_dev in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-sunxi-disp-permission.rules :

Code:
KERNEL=="disp", MODE="0777", GROUP="video"

KERNEL=="cedar_dev", MODE="0777", GROUP="video"

Add your user to the video and audio groups :

Code:
sudo usermod -G sudo,video,audio kodi

Now, i hang up on the EGL Problem:

Code:

I think it could be a reason that i have installed before libegl1-mesa-dev and some other mesa libs before. So i purged this packages but no success so far. Any ideas?
