The Allwinner "Cedrus" Video Decoder Supports H.265 On Linux 5.5

[caligula]

Firefox doesn't have any video decode accel on Linux. (Where have you been?)

It's one of the most popular browsers. Doesn't matter anyhow. These days, one could ask the some question of Chrome / Edge support.

Flash? Flash video? You've got to be kidding...

Some of the largest webcam porn sites depend on Flash, e.g. chaturbate.

Starship's hate or disgust of so many things and many people

is always justified and backed by undeniable facts, for example see this video:

What about the Chromium versions with enabled VA API?

I don't know if the VDPAU backend for VA-API would work in this case. Even if it did, it's probably limited to H.264.

Does it make any sense to buy these cheap clone boards when RPi has supported fullhd video and CEC for almost 6 years now?

[George99]

under Linux there is no browser that supports hardware video decode, no matter what hardware you have.

What about the Chromium versions with enabled VA API?

Sure it makes sense, there are better boards available. Besides leveraging hardware is always a good idea.

There are out of tree patches for chromium to enable video decoding acceleration and firefox might get there, too (at least on Wayland, look for the DMABUF work).
