Hi folks,
Is there any media center, like kodi, ready for BPI-R2?
Marcello
install kodi should be no Problem…interesting was the question about hardware-acceleration of videos…tht can be a Problem. Also i’ve heared about HDMI-Problems…have you tried that?
i want to use the board as it was designed for…an router 
so i have not tested any of the multimedia-capability
why then such a video processor is needed? how not to play good quality video
Is hdmi working with your image?
You can try to build mali450-support with your kernel-source and this: https://developer.arm.com/products/software/mali-drivers/utgard-kernel
Tried to do as described in this forum, but does not work! https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1420-opengl-on-mali-gpu-bananapi-orangepi-pc-etc/
I’m far from Linux, but it seems to me that there is no data in the loading sheet for loading the installed drivers
As far as i know, driver for video-acceleration (vdpau/vaapi) is not the same as driver for opengl (mesa/dri)…
According to the spec of the GPU on gitbook, it should be possible however the driver will more likely need to be compile as mention by frank-w. I don’t believe you can software decode of HEVC/H.265 at 1080P@60fps. As per the armbian forum, make sure mali and mali_drm kernel modules are loaded.
