Post Enigma2 with GLES 3.0 and WQHD
Enigma2 with GLES and WQHD
by @Captain

What is GLES?

GLES stands for "OpenGL for Embedded Systems". It is a variant of OpenGL
specially developed for embedded devices.

In the previous Enigma2 OSD, many graphics elements are drawn by the
CPU or older hardware blitters. With the new e2egl backend, the following
elements, among others, can be rendered via the GPU and shaders:

Texts and characters
PNGs, Icons, and Skin Graphics
Areas, Lines and Gradients
Transparency and alpha blending
Scaling and rounded corners
Menus, lists, and windows
Fade, slide, zoom and pop-up animations
This can relieve the CPU and allows for a smoother OSD, especially
with large resolutions, extensive skins, EPG views and animations.

What is WQHD for Enigma2?

WQHD has a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. For comparison:

HD: 1280 × 720
Full HD: 1920 × 1080
WQHD: 2560 × 1440

WQHD has around 78 percent more pixels than Full HD. This allows fonts,
picons, icons, EPG data and other skin elements to be displayed much
sharper. There is also more space available for modern skin layouts.

This is about the resolution of the Enigma2 OSD and not about the video
resolution of the running channel. The TV picture can still be output
independently in 720p, 1080p or 2160p.


A true WQHD skin must be adjusted to 2560 × 1440. An existing Full HD
skin does not automatically become an optimal WQHD skin due to the higher
resolution.

What's new?

Optional EGL/GLES backend for Enigma2
Support for GLES2 and – depending on the box – GLES3
GPU rendering for many OSD and skin elements
Improved font and glyph rendering with Font Atlas
Text, area, and character batching to reduce drawcalls
Texture cache for frequently used skin graphics
GPU-based window and OSD animations
New OSD animation profiles directly in the Enigma2 settings
Adjustments for OSD Positioning and OSD Calibration
Support for PiG/MiniTV and transparent video clips
Customized screenshot and grab functions
WQHD skin detection via wqhdskin
Detection of the active GLES backend via e2egl
Native EGL connections for Amlogic, Broadcom, Vu+, V3D and HiSilicon

Boxes prepared for GLES and WQHD

The following models or platform families are currently provided for
in the code for GLES and WQHD. The practical release takes place
after a successful box test.

Dreambox: Dream One and Two, 900 and 920
Vu+ARM 4K : VU+ Zero, Uno, Solo, Ultimo
Other Broadcom and V3D 4K platforms: Edision, GigaBlue, Zgemma
HiSilicon Boxes : Octagon, UClan, GigaBlue, Amiko

Post Re: Enigma2 with GLES and WQHD
Ce este WQHD ?

- o interfata grafica GLES pentru skinuri in rezolutie 2530*1440
- la ce bun ? o reprezentare mai buna a detaliilor (picoane) compatibila
cu posibilitatile chipseturilor 4K (BCM, HiS sau AML ) si televizoarelor 4K
- skinul si rezolutia de iesire pot avea rezolutii diferite la afisare
skinul poate face downgrade daca este cazul !
- noua interfata grafica GLES 3.0 permite o redare mai buna a detaliilor,
texturilor si culorii suprafetelor !

Deocamdata exista doar imagini destinate unor teste interne ! eu i-am
cerut o astfel de imagine lui @Captain, pentru ... Dream One cu skin actual
Metrix FHD. Sa vedem ce si cum ! Validarea noii rezolutii se face din Metrix
Lite alegand ... WQHD ! pentru alte skinuri ... este mai complicat !

WQHD si GLES 3.0 pe Dream One

Am primit imaginea de test ! din avion ... nu pare a fi speciala !

- am editat cu MetrixLite skinul Metrix ...
- si am ales modul video al skinului WQHD

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Am selectat modul WQHD ... dar nu prea vad ce este diferit ! mai sap !
Parca desenul caracterelor din meniu este mai fin !

Image

- intradevar meniul se asambleaza in WQHD (2560*1440)
- functioneaza sub OpenGL ES 3.0
- foloseste suport de accelerare grafica la afisarea meniurilor
- intrucat am selectat iesire video 1080p ... face downgrade
- navigarea prin meniuri este extrem de rapida dar ... greu de evaluat
cu cat mai rapida ! pe Dream One mergea oricum foarte repede !

Image

Image

Ce nu merge bine , inca ! Captura de ecran LIVE se face pe intreg spatiul
WQHD si nu pe cel FHD selectat de mine ca mod de afisare LIVE !

O demonstratie de exceptie pentru performanta vitezei de afisare a meniurilor
oricat ar fi ele de complexe ! Cazul HBBTV este un excelent exemplu pentru
ca implica din plin GLES 3.0 folosind un browser similar celui de Internet !

Care sunt receptoarele beneficiare ? Eu cred ca marii beneficiari vor fi
receptoarele bazate HiSilicon, care in opinia mea se cam taraie prin meniuri !
aici ma refer cu deosebire la Amiko Viper v20, v30 si v40 ! a caror drivere
nu exceleaza !

Sunt curios sa vad rezultatele GLES 3.0 pe Edision Mio , cu Kernel 5.0 si
cel mai "amarat" chipset BCM 4K ! Va mai dura ! desi demonstratia actuala
este convingatoare ... Nu pot face judecati de performanta in procente !
asta pentru ca Dream One mergea ca o racheta prin meniuri si pana acum
avand la baza un chipset de 4 ori mai tare decat BCM 4K uzuale !

Deci in rezumat ...

- viteza de navigare prin meniuri mult mai mare pentru ca GLES 3.0
foloseste un suport de accelerare hard pentru afisare
- reprezentarea meniului in rezolutie WQHD va fi vizibila pe un TV mare,
55" sau 65" , unde o rezolutie FHD este deja deranjanta inspecial in
meniuri
- picoanele, mai putin la moda azi, vor beneficia de o reprezentare mai
plina de detalii fine
- pluginurile cu structura complexa de meniuri devin mai fluente
- HBBTV , nepopular in Romanie , este unul din marii beneficiari
- fonturile primesc si ele o definitie superioara

WQHD si GLES 3.0 pe Edision Mio 4K

Imaginea pentru Dream One o avea @Captain gata pregatita pentru ca si el
a facut teste pe Deam Two ! Aseara i-am cerut o imagine pentru Edision Mio 4K !
si mi-a spus ca va fi gata in 3-4 zile odata cu un set de update masiv !

De ce tocmai Edision Mio 4K ?

- inainte de toate pentru ca i-l am !
- apoi pentru ca este realizat pe cel mai "lent" BCM 4K - BCM 72604 ,
chipset cu care au mai fost echipate VU+Zero 4K si Qviart Lunix 4K
- pentru ca la Edision performata a fost fortata cu singurul Kernel 5.x
din lumea Enigma2 ! si ca asta deja s-a vazut fata de VU+ si Lunix !
- scopul urmarit - compararea efectului accelerarii grafice hard pe o
masina lenta (BCM 72604 - 7.500 DMIPS) unde asta se vede , pentru
ca pe Dream One acest efect este imposibil de evaluat ( AML 922X -
56.000 DMIPS ) el mergea si inainte ca o racheta !

Evident ca voi face un test, atunci cand voi avea imaginea si pentru
Mut@nt HD 51 4K, echipat cu BCM 7251S - 10.000 DMIPS. Deocamdata
iau o pauza !

Stadiul actual ...
by @Captain

- receptoraele pe care merge complet : Dream One si Dream Two
- se fac teste pe VU+ (BCM) si GigaBlue (HiSi)
- acolo unde RAM este critic ... trebuie ajutat ! cu un Swap SD sau HDD
- exista o versiune noua a pluginului HBBTV 2.0 care instaleaza dedesubt
un browser Cromium, si care merge foarte bine !
- WQHD ruleaza fluent cu HBBTV si Youtube
- un numar de 10 portaluri vor avea suport specific RCU

Petru inceput se fac teste nepublice pe urmatoarele receptoare :

* Dreambox One (*)
* Dreambox Two (*)
* Dreambox DM900
* Dreambox DM920
* Vu+ Zero 4K (*)
* Vu+ Duo 4K SE (*)
* Vu+ Uno 4K SE (*)
* GigaBlue Quad 4K Pro
* Octagon SF8008 (*)

Receptoarele marcate au imagini de test deja construite ! ele se
obtin prin mesaje personale catre @Captain si nu sunt publice !
Evident ca nu trebuie facut un update din feed ! pentru ca el
va rescrie noile module cu unele incompatibile WQHD !

Post Re: Enigma2 with GLES 3.0 and WQHD
Situatia receptoarelor Edision Mio 4K este mai complicata ! @Captain
mi-a scris ca ea implica participarea autorilor driverului video BCM 72604
pentru Kernel 5.x !

Va reamintesc ca Edision este singurul receptoar care foloseste acest Kernel ...
si performanele lui se vad ! Eu am comparat reactia video pe Edision Mio 4K,
VU+Zero 4K , Qviart Lunix 4k ... toate cu acelasi chipset dar numai Edision
cu Kernel 5.x !

Post Re: Enigma2 with GLES 3.0 and WQHD
@Captain ne da o cveste buna ! platforma Chromium - Youtube TV care era
pana acum disponibila doar pe unele receptoare HiSilicon , mostenire de la
Octagon sf8008 , va fi disponibila in mediul GLES !!!

"Another wish was to make YouTube TV usable not only on HiSilicon platforms,
but also on other platforms. This has now been achieved and works surprisingly
well even on slower 4K devices. This development has also given rise to support
for HbbTV 2.0. This also works quite well. However, various areas still need to
be optimized for some boxes."


De asemenea, @Captain spune, ca nu toate facilitatile vor fi disponibile pe
receptoarele vechi ! Daca combinati "software decode" Oscam cu functii
complexe GLES rezultatele s-ar putea sa va dezamagesca ! In rezumat ...
GLES va merge bine pe chipseturi 4K dar cu limitari pe restul !

Test MetrixHD (WQHD -2560*1440)
Edision OS Mio 4k

Testul Edision este cel pe care l-am asteptat ! pentru ca pe Dream One totul
merge ca din pusca , asa mergea si inainte de WQHD GLES , si mi-a fost greu
sa judec diferenta ! Edision are o fata noua ...

- meniul se poae afisa cu si fara animatie , adica poate apare gradat in cca.
o secunda sau instant ! si merge ca din pusca !
- ca si la Dream One meniul in WQHD este mai fin desenata chiar si in imaginea
downgrade 1080p selectata de mine !
- oferta Chromium Portals este identica , nu sunt mare amator exeptand
PlutoTV dar care este in versiunea de baza cu localizare obligatorie

Post Re: Enigma2 with GLES 3.0 and WQHD
Deocamdata ... toate portalurile sunt functionale cu probleme !

- in cele incercate de mine poti intra ... se iese cu Power !!!
- unele meniuri de portal nu se incadreaza in ecran
- rezolutia meniurilor portal nu ma convinge maxim 720p selectabil

@Captain atrage atentia asupra compatibilitati limitate a RCU !
acolo este mult de lucru dar se rezolva ... incet incet !


In addition, I have enabled support for Air mice. As soon as a compatible
air mouse is detected, the mouse cursor is automatically displayed. Normal
websites that have not been optimized for operation with a remote control
can otherwise hardly be used in a meaningful way.

However, I won't adapt just any web pages for the remote control. For the
ten portals included, there will be a public Git repository with the necessary
RCU adjustments. For this purpose, I have created JavaScript files that are
integrated into the websites and enable operation with the remote control.


Pentru mine este interesant exclusiv suportul de accelerare grafica !
toate pluginurile vechi sunt functionale chiar si fara a beneficia de el !
Calitatea grafica a meniurilor este superioara ... si asta conteaza !

Post Re: Enigma2 with GLES 3.0 and WQHD
OpenATV 8.0 Beta GLES - Dream One

- imaginea de azi merge mult mai bine
- are YouTube adus in Main Menu
- YouTube chiar mege bine prin toate meniurile
- scaleaza foarte bine de la WQHD la FHD !
- misca ca din pusca !

Am verificat sumar :

- YouTube - OK
- NetFlix , NetFlix, Disney, Zatoo, Prime, HBO , Paramount - OK cu subscriptie
- RTL, Magenta - Free
- Pluto - free cu localizare

Nu pot face capturi ... este o problema cu WebIF !
Am lamurit si cu WebIF ! deocamdata nu merge in 1080p dar am trecut
de pe Philips UHD Monitor pe Samsung UHD TV si 2160 ... si totul este Ok !

Imaginea pe TV cu iesire video 2160p si meniuri in WQHD este senzationala !
totul merge perfect ... nu necesita ajustari de pozitie iar continutul are niste
culori de exceptie ! Miscarea prin meniuri este senzationala !
