Yes, I have put the hwdec=rkmpp etc. flags to mpv.conf. The decoding just fails if trying to play youtube videos. And when using ffmpeg-mpp I have actually deprioritized the hardware codecs from ffmpeg-mpp source because they were giving problems with firefox, and using vd=h264_rkmpp_decoder… parameter to force their use with mpv, as for some reason using hwdec=rkmpp then with ffmpeg-mpp causes mpv to freeze at the end of the video, requiring killing it.

Lines from verbose log that seem to have some relevance to the issue:

Could you send the whole command of mpv so that i can try to reproduce?

[ffmpeg/video] h264_rkmpp: Format nv12 chosen by get_format().

This looks suspicous, should have been drm prime

411

It seems that the problem only appears with live streams (and maybe recently ended live streams before the standard formats become available).

For example:

mpv --config=no --hwdec=rkmpp --vd-lavc-o=afbc=on --vf=scale_rkrga=force_yuv=8bit --ytdl-format=95/94 “https://youtu.be/BJ3Yv572V1A”

412

thanks for the feedback, reproduced the error, i think this might be related to recent update of mpp, let me work on it if there is an easy fix.

to reproduce

mpv --msg-level=ffmpeg=trace --profile=fast --config=no --hwdec=rkmpp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ

happens on vp9 decoder with pther files as well
even crashes the kernel

413

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp/commit/5cb29df8d369e0d0b42797a7132d365820fd4046 is the culprit.

exactly what i was thinking, i am reverting to 1.0.3 in repo, though there might be another problem in format selection of ffmpeg as well.

415

for the mpp issue i have downgraded the repos.
for the youtube case of mpv, it really looks like an mpv issue, however i think it would be beneficial to have such a workaround in PR @nyanmisaka

@meadows
if the PR is merged,

then you can do a agr update and run mpv with --vd-lavc-o=afbc=on,forcedrm=on option so that mpv will pickup the right hw format.

416

I Changed to agr.

Now I have this error with smplayer and mpv with ffmpeg-rockchip-git.

[ffmpeg/demuxer] mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2: moov atom not found

[lavf] avformat_open_input() failed

Failed to recognize file format.

E

417

Could you give me a command i can reproduce?

418

smplayer parameter,
-config=no -hwdec=rkmpp -hwdec-codecs=all -gpu-api=opengl
file downloaded from youtube

419

Never tried smplayer yet, does it also happen in m0v?

420

Same result with mpv.
smplayer is just GUI frontend for mplayer and mpv.
It worked bfore with ffmpeg-mpp

mpv now works after update of repo.
Still have a problem to install chromium-mpp.
Got error
Can not find package ibv4l-rkmpp
any advise
regards
uli

422

Chromium-mpp can be installled from binary repo, there is no need to install it from agr, it takes so much time to compole it, and there is no specific improvement in agr

423

Btw, anyone knows why KDE Plasma freezes randomly on Arch Linux?

Whenever it happens I need to run
killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

Updates: This seems only happened on Wayland

424

It freezes to me on Ubuntu all the time too. Because it has been happening so often, I set up the keyboard shortcut to restart the plasmashell. I read somewhere that freezing plasmashell is quite common for years already.

I would like to know if there is any solution for this too.

An alternative that is working fairly good with with Wayland is cinnamon de. They now have the option available and its pretty stable.
