iMX6 Video playback not working

[hareeshdas]

Hi all,

I am trying to play a video file on custom imx6q board using gplay, but nothing displays on HDMI screen. I have copied the gplay console messages below.

I am new to imx and gstreamer. Please let me know if anyone have clue on this.

$./gplay fast_n_furious.avi

playbin2 is employed!

I also have the same problem, can you solve it?

[joanxie]

what bsp do yo use ? and what video file format do you  use? if the file contain some formats which the standard pacakge doesn't support, gstreamer couldn't play it.

[hareeshdas]

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. I use imx 3.18 kernel and ported VPU/IPU drivers and libraries from 3.14 kernel released by freescale. Video file format I used is .avi. I think gstreamer support .avi file format,  tested with SABRE platform.  Please refer the complete issue description on  Video playback on 3.18 imx kernel ?.

Thanks,

Hari

the latest version for yocto is Linux 3.14.28, so do  you have any issue on the 3.14? if yes, pls send the avi file to me, let me reproduce it on my mx6q board.

[hareeshdas]

   With latest yocto release (3.14.28) I can able to play the same video file on SABRE platform.  As I said, I am getting difficulties when I try to test with 3.18 kernel after I ported video playback related sources from 3.14 kernel.

   We are using custom board and it boots successfully with an hdmi display connected. After boot in the /dev I can see "mxc_vpu, mxc_ipu, mxc_hdmi, fb0 and fb1" devices are registered. And I can see login prompt on hdmi display. When I play a video file using "./gplay fast_n_furious.avi" from minicom, it does not show video on hdmi.

Thanks & Regards,

Hari
