I've been looking into ways to usefully access the hardware media decoder, at the moment I think creating an openmax integration layer
<a href="http://www.khronos.org/openmax/">http://www.khronos.org/openmax/</a> wrapper around the allwinner closed driver would be the most useful long term.<div><br></div><div><div>For example the Raspberry Pi XBMC release is using openmax to access the hardware media acceleration, take a look at this repo <a href="https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc-rbp">https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc-rbp</a> (omxplayer core) for the development work there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't think I'm the only one who's thought this, for example this repo: <a href="https://github.com/allwinner-dev-team/android_external_cedarx">https://github.com/allwinner-dev-team/android_external_cedarx</a> seems to have the OMX headers in place ready for development.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Overall, an openmax IL would allow us to leverage work done for the Rpi but with a wider selection of media acceleration.</div><div><br></div><div>Iain.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

</div>No need to interface with FFmpeg, you can put the wrapper for the<br>
codec into mplayer directly, mplayer/libmpcodecs/vd_*<br>
