vlc/totem don't play some AVC/H264 1080p60 videos

[R.M.]

Hello,

vlc/totem don't play some AVC/H264 1080p60 videos

http://hdcam.web-pda.info/birds%20-%2018514072.mp4 (160 MB)

I have BCM 70015, ubuntu 10.04 LTS with libcrystalhd from
http://git.wilsonet.com/crystalhd.git/ 2011-01-23

regards,
R.M.

Can you be a little more specific in what doesn't work?

Any errors reported, kernel log, Gstreamer log would be very useful.

Hello,
No error reported, only normal logs
Totem properties tab has framerate 30 but should be 60
Totem stop playing after 1-2 seconds
Totem dosn't work probably because totem cpu usage is more than 100%
(core 2 duo 1.5GHz) (probably lot of memcpy)
VLC should work because has removed image copy and cpu usage is only
about 30-50%
but VLC also stop playing after 1-2 seconds
(tested on VLC-1.1.7 and VLC-1.2.0-dev)

I'm sorry for bad link

I know the hardware is supposed to decode 1080p60 but I can't
really believe you can memcpy the decoded frames fast enough
to show it...

A thing to try is to enable scaling.

On a lot of systems the PCIe bus real world performance is not fast enough to move 1080p60 either.

But scaling down to 720p 60 works very well.

thanks, can you tell me how to enable hardware scaling to 720p60?

I added

BC_SCALING_PARAMS pScaleParams;
pScaleParams.sWidth = 1280;
pScaleParams.sHeight = 720;
pScaleParams.DNR = 1;

BC_FUNC(DtsSetScaleParams)(p_sys->bcm_handle, &pScaleParams)

and vlc works perfectly, thanks for help
