Media Server with ARM64

• what is the MPP? is the MPP the GPU? I also know it has an NPU, but this sounds like a GPU kind of job.

  • Rockchip Media Process Platform.
  • On ARM processors the GPU is not responsible for video decoding. There’s a VPU for doing such things.

• https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ffmpeg/pull/318

• https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ffmpeg/releases/tag/v6.0.1-2

It needs at least v10.2:

docker pull jellyfin/jellyfin:10.9.8 #example below

• Example on how to activate it - https://akashrajpurohit.com/blog/setup-jellyfin-with-hardware-acceleration-on-orange-pi-5-rockchip-rk3558/

cat /sys/kernel/debug/rkrga/load #see how the GPU is doing

• Add full HWA pipeline for Rockchip RK3588 platform allowing us to HW encoder (H264, HEVC) up to 1080p @ 480fps / 4k @ 120fps on RK3588

4K UHD, or Ultra High Definition, is a resolution standard in digital cinema and computing that offers significantly higher image definition than 1080p HD (High Definition).

The term “4K” refers to the horizontal resolution, which is approximately ~4,000 pixels.

Specifically, the standard resolution for 4K UHD is 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is exactly four times the pixel count of Full HD (1920 x 1080), resulting in sharper and more detailed images.

• Standard Definition (SD):

  • 480p (720 x 480 pixels): Often referred to as SD, this is the standard resolution for DVD videos.

• High Definition (HD):

  • 720p (1280 x 720 pixels): Known as HD or HD Ready, it offers significantly better detail than SD.
  • 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels): Also referred to as Full HD or FHD, this resolution is standard for Blu-ray discs and many HDTVs.

• Ultra High Definition (UHD):

  • 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels): Often simply called 4K, this resolution provides four times the pixel count of 1080p.
  • 8K UHD (7680 x 4320 pixels): Known as 8K, it offers four times the pixels of 4K and sixteen times that of 1080p, providing extremely detailed images.

• Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) resolutions (used primarily in film production and digital cinema):

  • 2K (2048 x 1080 pixels): Slightly wider than 1080p, used mainly in digital movie projection.
  • 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 pixels): A professional cinema standard that is slightly wider than consumer 4K UHD.

• Wide Quad HD (WQHD):

• 1440p (2560 x 1440 pixels): Also known as QHD or Quad HD, this resolution is common in higher-end computer monitors and mobile devices, offering sharper images than 1080p.
