playback any mp4 video from MMC at a resolution of 1024x768 @50 Hz on i.MX6-SOLO

[nagamaheshg]

Our main requirement was to playback any mp4 video from MMC at a resolution of 1024x768 @50 Hz  on i.MX6-SOLO .

  We tried to play the MP4 video with different resolutions.

  When we played MP4 video with 720 x 480 resolution of 2 min length, the occupied memory is getting free from RAM.

  So, we thought playing high resolution video is the issue, as we are  playing 1280*720 resolution of 1.01 hour length video .

But when we played MP4 videos with different resolution of 1 hour length,  we faced the same  issue, but now the memory consumption is slow for  less resolution videos.

  Please find the attachment, we checked the memory consumption with free command.

$gplay Demo.MP4

is the command which we are giving to play the video

Hi Igor,

I have tested on the latest Ycoto BSP with the below command, but the HD video is playing very slow and got below error:

$gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=Demo.mp4 ! qtdemu  ! h264parse ! v4l2video1dec ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! fbdevsink sync=trueux

Hi Igor,

Thanks for the reply.

I am not using Qt, I am playing a video 1280*720 resolution of 1.01 hour length video with gst-launch.

$gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=Demo.mp4 ! qtdemu  ! h264parse ! v4l2video1dec ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! fbdevsink sync=trueux

Note:

VPU and GPU cores are enabled in the BSP
