Cannot play UHD hevc/h265 video smoothly (under mpv) #196
Comments
This thread hints at it being possible to play hw accelerated videos under mpv on the RPi4 without any Broadcom binary blobs: |
mpv defaults to the 'gpu' video output device it seems. Here we see it run with no options under grpi64 and we see it has dropped 90 frames after playing only 6 seconds of video.

This command should enable hw decoding:

30 Oct 2020: sadly, due legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and since the images may be of use still in certain applications); however, there will be no further updates to the underlying binhost etc., nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice. |
I have a number of UHD hevc/h265 videos that play fine under Raspbian VLC (when using mmal-copy) but I have been unable to get to play smoothly (with hardware acceleration) under rpi gentoo 64 1.6.0 when using smplayer, mpv or ffplay. I have installed gentoo onto a USB3 SSD and I am playing the video file from the same SSD on a RPi4 w/ 8GB RAM.
mpv is my favourite video player so I'm hoping we'll be able to get UHD h265 videos playing under mpv, which I was very happy to see installed by default. I have tried using the auto-copy and auto modes under smplayer, I've tried:
and I've tried various mpv commands such as:
Is hardware decoding and playback of h265 not working yet? Doesn't look like it.
