#552

thats intersting, i dont get this error, i am assuming something might be wrong is some specific files.

I tested with https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h264, can you share an example file that you get this error from? or test big buck bunny ie 1080p, 1MB one at the top?

Dear boogiepop,

sorry for confusing you I copied the output from Baal…

So with the bunny testfiles I got these results… but now I am back on kernel 5.10 and hardware acceleration works, nevertheless the mpp message

mpv --profile=fast --hwdec=rkmpp Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_30MB.mp4

works very well with the old kernel 5.10 (5.10.160-r1080246-5b622f37c74d-64ce8ce-1-aarch64-rk3588-bsp5.10+) and combo of mesa-panfork-git mali-valhall-g610-firmware

I also tried this bunny test file:
