How to configure amlogic decoder?

    I'm thinking about Ave (or ave-10) amlogic video hardware decoder:

    • Video/Picture CODEC

      • Amlogic Video Engine (AVE-10) with dedicated hardware decoders and encoders
      • Supports multiple “secured” video decoding sessions and simultaneous decoding and encoding
      • Video/Picture Decoding

        • VP9-10 Profile-2 up to 4Kx2K@60fps
        • H.265 HEVC [email protected] up to 4Kx2K@60fps
        • H.264 AVC [email protected] up to 4Kx2K@30fps, H.264 MVC up to 1080p @60fps
        • MPEG-4 ASP@L5 up to 1080P@60fps (ISO-14496)
        • WMV/VC-1 SP/MP/AP up to 1080P@60fps
        • AVS-P16(AVS+) /AVS-P2 JiZhun Profile up to 1080P@60fps
        • MPEG-2 MP/HL up to 1080P@60fps (ISO-13818)
        • MPEG-1 MP/HL up to 1080P@60fps (ISO-11172)
        • RealVideo 8/9/10 up to 1080P@60fps
        • WebM up to VGA
        • MJPEG and JPEG unlimited pixel resolution decoding (ISO/IEC-10918)
        • Supports JPEG thumbnail, scaling, rotation and transition effects
      • Video/Picture Encoding

        • Independent JPEG and H.264 encoder with configurable performance/bit-rate
        • JPEG image encoding
        • H.264 video encoding up to 1080P@60fps with low latency
    • Video Post-Processing Engine – HDR10 processing, REC709/BT2020 processing, motion adaptive 3D noise reduction filter, advanced motion adaptive edge enhancing de-interlacing engine, 3:2 pull-down support, deblocking fliters, etc..


    So, possible write addon, or modify kodi to add possibility to set deinterlacing mode, deblock mode, etc..?

    At this point not much is exposed in Kodi, you can play with decoder and post process manager parameters using sysfs. The only "documentation" I know is kernel source code. I haven't played much with these settings, maybe someone here knows more about it.
