 STB Kodi 22 (Piers) with HW support STB Kodi 22 (Piers) with HW support
By @Captain
The basis of this overview is the current OpenATV 8.0 build configuration, the
new libstbplayer backend code and the tests carried out so far on real boxes.
CONFIRMED – tested on a real box with STB-Kodi
BACKEND – offered as a hardware codec by the current STB backend and
machine configuration, but not yet tested for each codec on real hardware
PARTIAL TEST – Hardware path has already been tested, points are still open
OPEN – Build or platform-specific video output not yet fully tested
1. Broadcom (BCM)
The base set of the new BCM-STB player contains on all supported BCM
platforms: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, DivX 3/4/5, Xvid, H.263 and
H.264/AVC The following information therefore only mentions the additional
hardware codecs.
BCM7251S
Example boxes: Mutant HD51, AX HD51, AX Ultra, AirDigital H7/H17 and
Xtrend ET1x000
Additional hardware codecs: HEVC/H.265, VC-1/WMV3, VP6, VP8, VP9 and
FLV1/Sorenson Spark
Booth: CONFIRMED at HD51. H.264, HEVC and VP9 work with hardware
decoding. Audio, FF/RW and player controls work.
BCM7252S
Example boxes: Dreambox DM900/DM920, GigaBlue GB7252 and Vu+ Uno
4K/Uno 4K SE
Additional hardware codecs: HEVC/H.265, VC-1/WMV3, VP6, VP8, VP9 and
FLV1/Sorenson Spark
Stand: PARTIAL TEST on the DM920. Hardware path and audio were running.
The final R40 test for HDMI frame rate and VP9 is still open.
BCM7376
Example boxes: Vu+ Duo 4K, Duo 4K SE, Solo 4K and Ultimo 4K
Additional hardware codecs: HEVC/H.265, VC-1/WMV3, VP6, VP8, VP9 and
FLV1/Sorenson Spark
Stand: CONFIRMED at the Vu+ Duo 4K SE. H.264 and HEVC up to 4K, audio
and player control work.
BCM72604
Example boxes: Edision OS mini 4K, OS mio 4K, GigaBlue GB72604, Vu+Zero
4K and Dags 72604
Additional hardware codecs: HEVC/H.265, VC-1/WMV3 and VP9
Status: BACKEND build path is present. A test on real hardware is still pending.
[img]BCM7435[/img]
Example boxes: Dreambox DM7080 and DM820
Additional hardware codecs: VC-1/WMV3, VP6, VP8 and FLV1/Sorenson Spark
Not in the current driver profile: HEVC/H.265 and VP9
Booth: BACKEND DM820 was built as a MIPSel reference. DM7080 uses the
same Kodi and driver path.
And other BCM chipsets.
2. HiSilicon (HiSi)
The current HiSilicon backend code offers the following hardware codec set:
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.263, H.264/AVC, HEVC/H.265, VC-1,
VP8, VP9, and MJPEG. The maximum image size reported by the backend
is 3840x2160.
HiSilicon 3798MV200
Example boxes: Octagon SF8008, AX/Mutant HD61, HD60/HD66, Pulse 4K,
Multibox, AirDigital H9/H10, Dinobot U571/Viper4K V40 and more
Hardware codecs: MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.263, H.264, HEVC, VC-1,
VP8, VP9 and MJPEG
Booth SF8008 and HD61/AX61: CONFIRMED Hardware and 4K path, low CPU
load, FF/RW, audio track change and subtitles work. Booth U571/Viper4K
V40: OPEN The box has a different native video output. The hardware player
is recognized, but the image output is not yet fully adjusted.
HiSilicon 3798CV200
Example boxes: Dinobot U5 PVR, U53, U532 and U533
Hardware-Codecs des Backends: MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.263, H.264,
HEVC, VC-1, VP8, VP9 und MJPEG
Stand: OFFEN Das Backend ist vorgesehen. Ein echter Kodi-Boxentest steht noch aus.
3. Software fallback
A codec that is not in the hardware list of the respective platform is not
promised as hardware decoding. Kodi can play it in software via FFmpeg
if necessary. On older or weaker STB processors, software decoding for
Full HD or 4K is usually not sufficient.
MKV, MP4, TS, and other containers are not the same as the video codec.
Whether a file works completely also depends on the audio format, profile,
level, bit depth, frame rate, and driver version.
Audio runs separately via the Kodi and ALSA paths. Player functions such as
pause, seek, FF/RW, audio track change, subtitles and the Kodi OSD are
retained in the new STB player.
