Banana Pi: Accelerated Video

PART 1: CEDRUS

VLC didn't work

Status (out of date):


This worked:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus



NOTE: I began with the stock bananapi image:
Lubuntu_1404_For_BananaPi_v3_1_1.img


Regarding modprobe:
to find the module (name changes depending on hardware):
find /lib/modules | grep cedar 
check to see if the dev exists now:
ls /dev/cedar_dev

To ensure modprobe runs at startup
add modprobe sunxi_cedar_mod to /etc/modules


Using:
* Could only get mpv to work (mplayer seems to be missing vdpau support?)*

Also might need to do this manually:

sudo modprobe sunxi_cedar_mod
chmod 666 /dev/cedar_dev
chmod 666 /dev/disp

Add these to /etc/bash.bashrc 
export DISPLAY=:0
export VDPAU_DRIVER=sunxi

MPV:
Finally, this:
mpv --vo=vdpau --hwdec=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=all --fs --loop=inf melina.mp4

mpv --vo=vdpau --hwdec=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=all --fs --loop=inf ./*
To get it to play automatically at lightDm startup:
Edit: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf


PART 2: FBTURBO
Above lets us playback videos but we can also accelerate other stuff (like X), do this:
