i.mx6 GPU with mplayer

Dear YuriMuhin_ng,

I would like to resume this thread and ask if NXP now provides GPU support for mplayer on IMX6 platforms.

Thanks for you time.

Best regards,

Enrico

Hello,

The GPU mainly is used for graphic; VPU is intended for playing.

But section 7.5 (Overlaysink usage) of "i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide.pdf"

describes GPU based overlaysink plugin.

i.MX Software|NXP

Have a great day,
Yuri

Any reason why to choose mplayer instead of gstreamer?

Hi OtavioSalvador.

We just have a piece of software built on mplayer and we would like to reuse it. Nothing more.

Thanks for your interest.

Best regards,

Enrico

Oh Ok. I asked because most VPU based apps are being done using GStreamer.
