imx6q ubuntu 12.04(armel) can not use hardware acceleration (gstreamer)

[yenchao]

Hi,

I'm working on imx6q + kernel 3.0.35 + ubuntu 12.04(armel) which was upgraded from ubuntu 11(oneiric, downloaded from https://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=L3.0.35_4.1.0_UBUNTU_RFS_BSP&appTy...)

Hardware acceleration with gstreamer works fine on ubuntu 11

but when I upgraded to unbuntu 12.04

I can' play video by using hardware acceleration.

On ubuntu 11, gstreamer and freescale gstreamer packages version are as below

gstreamer 0.10.35

kernel header 3.0.35

firmware-imx 3.0.35

imx-lib 3.0.35

fsl-alsa-plugins 1.0.25

libfslcodec 3.0.7

libfslparser 3.0.7

libfslvpuwrap 1.0.35

gst-fsl-plugins 3.0.7

when I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04

gstreamer becomes to gstreamer 0.10.36

and hardware acceleration can't work(also can't use gplay to play video)

I have tried to  install

kernel header 3.0.35

firmware-imx 3.0.35

imx-lib 3.0.35

fsl-alsa-plugin 1.0.25

libfslcodec 3.0.7

libfslparser 3.0.7

libfslvpuwrap 1.0.35

gst-fsl-plugins 3.0.7

again (these packages were downloaded from https://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=L3.0.35_4.1.0_MM_CODECS&appType=fi...),

and gplay works fine, but totem still can't play video by hardware acceleration.

According to this web site(http://boundarydevices.com/mx6-video-acceleration-raring-debian/)

if I install

kernel header 3.0.35

firmware-imx 3.5.7

imx-lib 3.5.7

fsl-alsa-plugin 3.5.7

libfslcodec 3.5.7

libfslparser 3.5.7

libfslvpuwrap 3.5.7

gst-fsl-plugins 3.5.7

on ubuntu 12.04

it can't run gplay and will show error message as below

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(gplay:4185): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libmfw_gst_aiur_demux.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libmfw_gst_aiur_demux.so: undefined symbol: gst_debug_log2

does anyone knows how can I let hardware acceleration work on ubuntu 12.04?

any advices and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

thx

make sure the PATH shown in your error is exactly the PATH your file is.

Sometimes, it´s a matter of a missing dash, or other character

(I don't have ubuntu expertise, so, I don't think I'm going to be able to help further if my tip does not help"

Hi Daiane,

I have confirmed that these files were exist at the correct path.

I don't know why gstreamer can't load the plugin

maybe cause by different gstreamer version

thanks for your reply!!

Hi Yen,

Please refer to How to create ubuntu hardfloat rootfs for imx6d/q

Hope this helps

Hi Bio_TICFSL,

I have tried the method which you provided.

But it still can't work.

On ubuntu 11.10, freescale had provide gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.35-1-0ubuntu0+ppa1_armel.deb.

When I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, it seems like need gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36.deb

Do you know where can i get  gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36.deb?

thanks for your reply
