Thanks for both answers. Looking forward to a more accurate RK support, a board is really good.

Dante4,

I noticed that in your guide, several libraries and settings are installed. But I did not see anything about the video driver. I say this because I installed Armbian a few times and it is not possible to play the video using a Mali450p, videos lock. Does your guide solve this situation?

Sorry for late answer.

About video - i was only using armbian, because had a bit of problems with ubuntu or debian.

As for video driver - you need to install mpp. With mpp you will be able to build mpv+ffmpeg, but that's only full screen video (no windowed). For windowed + fullscreen you need to use gstreamer (i have limited knowledge about why mpv and gstreamer so different, maybe Jmcc on armbian forum will be to answer this).

Here is how

Raspberry Pi 3B and 3B+ with a little overclock and LE 9.0 firmware handle software decoding of lower bitrate 1080p HEVC files quite well. Higher bitrates and media that's also DRM encrypted (Netflix etc.) will push things over the edge, but the Pi Foundation Engineers have been quite resourceful at finding spare compute resources on the board and putting everything to work.

I do not have that much stage knowledge, but "a little" is how much? 1.4 GHz is 3b+, which already OC (like Athenon Black Edition, am i right?), so 1.5 GHz? 1.6 GHz?

I'm truly suprised at amount of optimization required for software decoding of 10bits video

Recent optimisations of HEVC CPU+GPU decoding on the Pi have done pretty amazing things. 1080p content is playing now - though not all.

Are we talking about video with bitrate around 5 Mb/s or 1-2 Mb/s?

Monie As for rock64 support, see this

10-bit 1080p HEVC works on Raspberry Pi 3 with LE 9.

That's not possible? Raspberry Pi simple don't have hardware acceleration for 10 bits, 720p low-bitrate maybe, but 1080p?

As for 4k support - 4k30fps should be okay for LibreELEC that's not official one (for me official one doesn't even start up ), you can try to build Firefly image from here or, if you need to just play video (and you are okay with full OS) with mpv or gstreamer you can try Armbian image and this guide

Two of those Repos were last updated in March ... did you try the latest official Alpha?

That 2nd Repo i linked. Official one. Which just doesn't boot.

The beta version (which is v10 Alpha for Rockchip) doesn't work too (which to be expected, since i tried compilation from github)

I need help, since i hit the wall.

MicroPC - ROC-RK3328-CC 1GB (Firefly | Make technology more simple , Make life more intellingent.).

This (GitHub - T-Firefly/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI) is working version of LibreELEC.tv for my board (complied from repo), but it don't have HDMI sound output

This (GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI) is not working version (complied from repo). Can't even boot in it

This branch (GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv at rockchip) is booting, but freeze on KODI screen

With changing packages around i have achieved nothing. Search gave me this, but in my case both LED constantly on, like microPC don't see SD at all (Power Supply, SD card and microPC is ok, since it's work with others images).

So my question is:

Is it even possible to add HDMI sound to firefly image? Or any hints where i need to look?

Is there much difference between this

ROC-RK3328-CC_Dev Board_ALL_Firefly Shop

and this

ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade) – Libre Computer

?

Because i can't boot any of the LibreELEC alpha version for rk3328 (nor release, nor nightly), but Armbian (Renegade – Armbian) and Ubuntu, Debian, and LibreELEC from here works. Ticket was answered with "My roc-cc is working" and that's all.
