Binaries for Hardware Accelerated Qt 5.5.0 Multimedia Backend on Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 (4.5.0 & 4.5.1)

These are two packages containing binaries for PiOmxTextures (POT) for Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 running Raspbian.

PiOmxTextures 4.5.0

The first package contains POT 4.5.0 for Raspberry Pi (1):

• Improved sample code and POCPlayer.
• Added POCPlayer tests running multiple MediaPlayer instances.
• Improved rendering performance.
• Added support for multiple players (this seems to still show issues on Pi1, a little better on Pi2).
• Fixed volume range to avoid distortion.
• POCPlayer now shows how to render 24 bit color depth.
• Other fixes.
• Moved to Qt 5.5.0 (including libinput support).*

Download PiOmxTextures 4.5.0 for Pi1 here.

PiOmxTextures 4.5.1 (for armv7)

The second package contains POT 4.5.1 for Raspberry Pi 2 and adds to the above:

• Improved buffer provider code.
• ffmpeg 2.7.1 (old was 2.6) compiled with proper CPU optimisations.
• Added compiler optimisations to leverage the new armv7 processor and NEON support for POT, Qt 5.5.0** and ffmpeg builds.

Download PiOmxTextures 4.5.1 for Pi2 here.

The first package ran long tests and is supposed to guarantee more stability. Tests showed uptime of POCPlayer (sample media player included in the sources) way over a month uninterruptedly. The second package instead did not run any long test. Please let me know if you notice anything wrong.

Both packages contain:

• piomxtextures_pocplayer: sample player which includes tests for animations, loops and commands. Have a look at the sources to understand how it works.
• Qt-rasp(2)-5.5.0.tar: contains the build of Qt 5.5.0 with proper CPU optimisations. This also includes the host tools like qmake. rpath is set to /usr/local/Qt-rasp(2)-5.5.0 so you're probably better install it there.
• qtdeps.tar: this contains libevdev and libinput which are not available in Raspbian repos. Qt will need these in the runtime lib path to work.

Please, let me know if you encounter issues with the packages or if anything goes wrong.

Bye! ;-)

NOTE: This is not available in github yet. But it will shortly.
