The information on fs-net website for armStoneA8 says that it supports MPEG4/ H264 Decoder up to 1080p@30fps. How can I check it?

Quote from "fs-support_HK"

There is currently no hardware acceleration for playing videos available on the Linux platform of armStoneA8. We only have a mainline kernel for our fss5pv210 architecture (=armStoneA8, NetDCU14, PicoMOD7A) and at the time when we ported Linux, there was no acceleration available in the mainline kernel. I'm not sure if such acceleration was added to mainline Linux in the meantime. If yes, then it might be possible that we add this feature sometime in the future.

But if you need accelerated video decoding now, you should use the armStoneA9 instead.

We are trying video playback on armStoneA8, using gstreamer, with the following command:
gst-launch playbin uri=file:///x.avi video-sink=fbdevsink
The problem is that the decoding is very slow and we can not determine whether hardware codec is used?
Could you give us some advice?

Thanks for your replyï¼
Do you mean that the QT window can not be displayed on the HDMI along with the hardware decoded video？

Hi,

We want to interact with the enduser using Qt on touch screen, and display video information on the HDMI TV with GStreamer.
Does the armStoneA8 support difference display both on LCD and HDMI?

Thanks!
