[ARM Unstable Update] 2025-04-04 - Plasma, Gnome, Thunderbird, Audacity, Xz

I would lean to it being something else because when I tried vlc-rpi it had a screen resolution limit with HW decoding and you are able to play a file locally.

Installed “clapper” on Opi5-Plus on mainline kernel 6.14. clapper will stream <30fps 1090p h264 Youtube with vpu hw acceleration (hardware decode).

Local h264 1080/60 video on hardware decode. Local VP9 1080p/60 video on software decode.

Clapper less flexible that mpv with v4l2request (thanks to @junari) support media player as on mpv can use yt-dlp to filter and stream only h264 Youtube videos.

With the right kernel like MiniArch Kernel or linux-6.14 Clapper has vpu hw acceleration out of the box (i.e. provide with the correct gstreamer plugins, gst-libav and clapper-enhancers installed). In a way, clapper is easier to get vpu hw acceleration working than mpv on mainline kernel.

By the way, on bsp kernel-6.1 clapper does not seem to support vpu hw acceleration.

chromium doesn’t load:

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.75: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

icu is at 76.1.1 - is that the issue?

Oops! found the separate thread and temp fixed…

With today’s update on unstable I had 2 old installs that had a package that is not in the repo that does not depend on anything any more. I had to remove rest before I could update. It had a dependency issue with a newer lib.

I will be doing the update at later time. Probably in the afternoon my time. 2025-05-06T05:00:00Z2025-05-06T07:00:00Z
