gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx and i.MX 6SoloX

[mirkoardinghi1]

Hi,

I tried to add the gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx to my local.conf:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx "

but after the command 'bitbake core-image-image' I have the following error:

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'libimxvpuapi' (but /home/user/yocto/fido/sources/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx_0.12.0.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

ERROR: libimxvpuapi was skipped: incompatible with machine imx6solox (not in COMPATIBLE_MACHINE)

NOTE: Runtime target 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx' is unbuildable, removing...

Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx', 'libimxvpuapi']

ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-minimal' has no buildable providers.

Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-minimal', 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx', 'libimxvpuapi']

Is not possibile use the gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx with a solox?

Thanks!

Hello,

Are you using the NXP BSP?

i.MX 6 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP

That has been tested in NXP BSP.

If you are using community BSP, you should ask in the conmunity list

Hi, I'm looking for a pipeline to show an MPEG4 video in the frame buffer with a SoloX and gstreamer 1.0.

Anyone can help me?

Since there is no h/w mpeg decoder on the imx6sx, your pipeline would need to decode the mpeg stream and convert it to a format that the pxp or 2d plugins can understand. Not the easiest feat to achieve because you will rely on software decoding for most of the pipeline.

Hello Mirko Ardinghi ,

You can use gplay-1.0 video_name.mp4

Thanks, it works

[mirkoardinghi1]

So the best solution is to use another program like mplayer that uses only the CPU?

[mirkoardinghi1]

Ok thanks. I'll ask to the community

Hello,

Try this one : gst1.0-fsl-plugin

6SX doesn't have VPU.

Luis,

I know, but in Yocto/gstreamer – Gateworks  in the plugin list I read:

Video Render (sink)

imxg2d; imxpxp; imxeglvivsink; imxipu

imxg2dvideosink; imxpxpvideosink; imxeglvivsink; imxipuvideosink

g2d1, ipu1, pxp2, and egl (overlay) video sinks

2. Note that the PXP sinks are only applicable to the i.mx6solo and i.mx6dl processors.

It seems that I could use the plugin with the solox too

Hello,

gst1.0-fsl-plugin includes for the 6SX: aiurdemux, imxmp3enc, overlaysink, beepdec, imxv4l2sink, imxv4l2src, imxvideoconvert_g2d, imxvideoconvert_pxp

6SX doesn't have IPU.
