The video below showcases a Raspberry Pi running XBMC with CEC support enabled.

MJPEG, VP6, VP8 and OGG Theora are supported as GPU accelerated software decoders. (, 13:56) popcornmix Wrote: You need it for decoding MPEG-2 (mostly used by live broadcast TV, DVDs and a small number of BluRay titles), and VC-1 (used by a small number of BluRay titles). At the moment you can purchase MPEG-2 and VC1, both with support up to 1080P.

This document contains notes about install Userland for Raspberry Pi on Funtoo Linux. For those who don’t know, this standard allows to control your HDMI device with your TV remote control, so you’ll only need one remote for 2 or more devices. The Raspberry Pi Foundation offers additional video codec licenses for a few dollars. The Raspberry Pi is an ARM device (BCM2835, ARMv6).
Pi4 has the same hardware accelerated decode for H264, but not the other codecs. I’m sure it will be ready pretty soon, as this is required for the upcoming camera module.įinally, HDMI CEC has been enabled in the latest version of Raspbmc, Xbian and OpenElec. Video Format / Codec Resolution Audio .4.vob.wmv: AVI Matroska MPEG-4 MPEG-PS Windows Media: H. Here's an excerpt from this detailed post/thread on the Raspberry Pi Forum: Pi0-3 have hardware accelerated decode for H264, MPEG4, H263, and through optional codec licences for MPEG2 and VC1. Somebody will have to write an application to take advantage of the firmware, so it may take a little while, until most people can use this feature. Once you’ve got your license(s) (within 72-hour by email), MPEG-2 and VC-1 hardware decoding should work out of the box, you should even be able to connect a USB DVD drive to play back your DVDs on your Pi.Īfter further discussion with the licensing guys, they discovered that H.264 encode was also covered by their current H.264 license, so they’ve enabled it in the current firmware, and this won’t cost a thing.
