Hi folks,

just stumbled across this Tweet by Libre Computer:

- I've difficulties to judge: Does this mean that we finally have a mainline kernel supporting all media features and may see this soon in LibreELEC?

Thanks for any insights!

No major changes. Amlogic is now one of the best supported core codebases for ARM devices thanks to u-boot work done by Baylibre and efforts from LibreComputer to get their products accepted into the major distros. The multimedia capabilities are still languishing in the dark ages.

Thanks for sharing your insights! Digging a bit into the link CvH sent, it seems "only" HEVC in hardware and some DRM features are missing - sounds to me like they left the dark ages, but did not arrive at today yet...
