Re: [PATCH v2 0/9] Exynos DRM: rewrite IPP subsystem and userspace API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone,

I have finished some first (working) version of my mpv video backend for IPPv2.

You can find the tree here:
https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/mpv

I've also created some RFC pull request upstream, to get some input on the
current patches:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/4986

As you can see, a lot is currently missing, but at least the video presentation
(for YUV420) already works and shows good performance.

I have also cleaned up my ippv2 libdrm branch. Now it should just contain the
IPPv2 bits:
https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/libdrm/tree/ippv2

With best wishes,
Tobias
