While working on completing the custom QML component for rendering video on Raspberry Pi, I asked myself: does it really make sense to always re-invent the wheel? And also, shouldn’t[...]
This is a custom QQuickItem subclass rendering hardware-decoded h264 1080p video on Raspberry Pi. The egl_render component used in some previous posts is good. The QML component can play nicely[...]
After accomplishing the target of decoding and rendering compressed image formats onto OpenGL textures directly using OpenMAX, I’ve looked into how to use the same concept to render h264 stream[...]
After building Qt 5.0 on Raspberry Pi, I focused the attention to hardware acceleration using OpenMAX. This is quite an interesting subject to study. The most interesting element I found[...]
After compiling Qt 5.0 for Raspberry Pi, I wanted to try all the modules. I compiled and tested the simplest modules first, like: Everything worked quite smoothly, without any change,[...]
