Getting hardware acceleration into Qt eglfs is tricky. Doing so on a Raspberry Pi is, unfortunately, still tricky after many years. Qt claimed to have reimplemented the Qt Multimedia module[...]
At the moment I still don’t want to test custom firmwares or 64 bit arch builds, but I started to test a couple of new features: a new compiler from[...]
A few months back I decided to try to implement hardware decoding in WebKit. Unfortunately this task is always pretty long and complex for many reasons. I found the time[...]
A new version of Qt is out and some interesting changes are being developed. Interesting work was done on WebEngine. This package contains an experimental build of Qt 5.8.0-rc1 with[...]
So far, no real complains about POT 5.4.0-beta1 so I suppose it is sufficiently safe to consider it POT 5.4.0. Refer to this article for more info.[...]
This is a new binary package including the same content of POT 5.3.0-beta1 package, with some updates: new improvements in POT taken from omxplayer code; bump to ffmpeg 3.1; based[...]
The latest version of POT (5.3.0-beta1) implements some kind of buffering which makes it also possible to do some streaming. ffmpeg provides what is needed to work on protocols like[...]
This is an experimental version of POT that includes a few new features. The driver now includes an experimental version of playback of remote content including proper buffering of the[...]
This is a follow-up to the image provided in this article. The concept is identical, but in this case this firmware is smaller, it is based on Raspbian Jessie Lite[...]
This is an experimental build of POT 5.1.0 including support for remote streaming. I tested it for HTTP/HTTPS with YouTube but it should work with other protocols supported by ffmpeg[...]
This new build is identical to the previous one but includes a few changes in the library: Bump ffmpeg from 2.7.2 to 2.8.5 to fix some rare crashes. Multiple fixes[...]
This is a experimental build of POT 5.1.0 running on Qt 5.6.0-beta1 built for Raspbian Jessie for armv7 (Raspberry Pi 2). Do not use in production. The package includes: Qt[...]
I tried to do this a few months ago actually, but I got lost in the huge amount of code and architecture variants of WebKit. Now I convinced myself it[...]
This is an image of Raspbian Jessie ready to test (and use) the Qt Multimedia Backend POT. This image is optimised for maximum performance (see the demos below). This is[...]
As someone asked, I tried to port POT to the recently released Raspbian Jessie. Everything works pretty much the same, except for a few changes. Unfortunately I needed to rebuild[...]
This package includes mostly bug fixes over beta2. You can consider it stable in the sense that no one complained about severe bugs for a few days. You always have[...]
A few weeks ago I came across the interesting task of adding deinterlacing to the POT rendering pipeline.I had never looked into deinterlacing with POT, but the code was actually[...]
This package includes mostly bug fixes and some slight improvements over beta 1. Please fil bugs to github if needed. Refer to previous articles on how to use. Download PiOmxTextures[...]
These are two packages containing binaries for PiOmxTextures (POT) for Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 running Raspbian. The main changes are: Completely changed approach to GPU buffer and structure allocations.[...]
These are two packages containing binaries for PiOmxTextures (POT) for Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 running Raspbian. PiOmxTextures 4.5.0 The first package contains POT 4.5.0 for Raspberry Pi (1): Improved[...]
