16:50 <hanetzer> question. anyone here actually making use of the vcodec stuff on the rk* socs?

17:00 <CounterPillow> define "actually making use", hanetzer

17:01 <CounterPillow> I do test it, yes. I don't use one as a media box or anything, but I have used it.

17:06 <hanetzer> CounterPillow: could you elaborate a bit on how its used? Its my understanding that it grabs a bit of ram to do its work in, is that just automagic'd by the v4l2 interfaces/api?

17:08 <CounterPillow> I don't know whether the allocation happens in userspace or kernel but the hardware usually is of the kind where you give it an address of input memory, and address of output memory, set up the parameters, and pulse a register to tell it to start decoding that bit of data

17:10 <diederik> robmur01: I'm using WideVine on my (64-bit) Rock64 with LibreELEC. It's indeed armhf, but still seems to work

17:10 <psydroid> why do they refuse to provide an AArch64 Widevine plugin?

17:11 <robmur01> diederik: yeah, I can't be bothered with multilib and all that :)

17:12 <robmur01> psydroid: because ChromeOS is still using 32-bit userspace due to some other dependency, so they don't need to

17:16 <psydroid> it's why I still use x86 for Widevine DRM'ed content

17:16 <psydroid> but I may keep a newer SBC on armhf, when I get one of those
