As some asked in the past, this is a Raspbian Wheezy image 05.05.2015 with fully working POT built for armv6 (which therefore works on both Pi 1 and Pi 2).[...]
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[...]
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[...]
Someone asked if PiOmxTextures (library and Qt OpenMAX-based multimedia plugin) could be used on Raspberry Pi 2 and if it could be used to play more than one video contemporarily.[...]
This is a package containing binaries for PiOmxTextures 4.4.0. The relevant improvements here over 4.3.0 are: Fixed horizontal tearing effect. Fixed leaks when starting/stopping and restarting video. Added support for[...]
Many complained about an horizontal tearing issue when playing videos on the Pi using the PiOmxTextures driver. The issue was caused by a missing switch of buffers backing the textures[...]
As someone still have troubles building PiOmxTextures, I prepared a little package that contains the binaries needed to make it run and have a look. In the past I tried[...]
As I see some are still working on the Pi, and someone asked to “port” to Qt 5.4.0, this is a small update to the Qt Multimedia Backend POC. This[...]
i.MX 6 is a good device. Qt runs pretty well on it. Also a plugin for hardware accelerated and zero-copy rendering seems to work pretty well. Simply building Qt for[...]
For many uses, playing video while animations are running is pretty useful and it is also considerably stressful for the GPU. I therefore tested a couple of cheap chips with[...]
The new ports of Qt to mobile systems like Android, iOS and WinRT are getting more and more reliable. I just wanted to have a look at the current stage[...]
EDIT 02.25.2015: It seems to be missing even in Ubuntu 14.10. But probably the quickest way to install is: I was trying to develop an application that uses gstreamer 0.10[...]
For those of you still working on this exciting subject, I did some new changes to PiOmxTextures and it still works pretty good. To have more information on PiOmxTextures refer[...]
I recently had some issues with iTunes and lost a few of the entries in the database. Maybe some little bug in iTunes, I don’t precisely know. Anyway, this led[...]
I don’t like to reinvent the wheel, and there are many logging codes out there, but still I couldn’t find what I wanted. Those were all either too complex or[...]
In the github project for PiOmxTextures I recently uploaded also a sample player (tools/POCPlayer) that can be used for debugging and testing the performance. This is supposed to be a[...]
Please take into consideration that this firmware is based on an old firmware and an old PiOmxTextures version. As I see still someone has troubles building PiOmxTextures, I built a[...]
EDIT: This article is outdated. Refer to newer posts for properly working builds, instructions on how to build etc… In particular: “Using POT Builds” and “Build Procedure for PiOmxTextures“. EDIT:[...]
Ok, I did this a couple of months ago but I just realized it might be of help to someone who is currently using Necessitas Qt4 for some project and[...]
According to what I read around, it should be possible to install some build of Qt 5 using apt on Raspberry by adding the Qt repo: read here. However, some[...]
