It is also time to start looking toward the future, since Hantro H1 is very limited and ancient encoder. On same brand, if someone could work on VC8000E shipped on IMX8M Plus, or Rockchip codecs, that will certainly help progress. We can also get inspiration from many other stateless encoding APIs now, notably VA, DXVA and Vulkan Video. Of course, folks likes to know when this will happen, stateless decoders took 5 years from start to the first codec being merged, hopefully we don't beat that record. I personally aim for producing work during the summer, and mostly focus on the spec. Its obvious for me that testing on H1 with a GStreamer implementation is the most productive, though I have strong interest in having an ecosystem of drivers. A second userspace implementation, perhaps ffmpeg ?, could also be useful. If you'd like to take a bite, this is a good thread to discuss forward. Until the summer, I planned to reach to Paul, who made this great presentation [1] at FOSDEM last year and start moving the RFC into using these ideas. One of the biggest discussion is rate control, it is clear to me that modern HW integrated RC offloading, though some HW specific knobs or even firmware offloading, and this is what Paul has been putting some thought into. If decoders have progressed so much in quality in the last few years, it is mostly before we have better ways to test them. It is also needed to start thinking how do we want to test our encoders. The stateful scene is not all green, with a very organic groth and difficult to unify set of encoders. And we have no metric of how good or bad they are either. regards, Nicolas Le lundi 13 janvier 2025 à 18:08 -0300, Daniel Almeida a écrit : > +cc Nicolas > > > Hey Adam, > > > > > > Daniel, > > > > Do you know if anyone will be picking up the H1 encoder? > > > > adam > > > > > > â??
