Raspbian Wheezy 05.05.2015 including Qt 5.5.0 and Accelerated Qt Multimedia Backend

As some asked in the past, this is a Raspbian Wheezy image 05.05.2015 with fully working POT built for armv6 (which therefore works on both Pi 1 and Pi 2). It includes Qt 5.5.0, POT, ffmpeg 2.7.2 and all the libs needed by Qt not provided by Raspbian.

Download Raspbian 05.05.2015 with Qt, ffmpeg, POT and all dependencies here (extraction code is: 22e9).

Sorry but the download will probably take very long.

Flash it on a micro SD-card and test by running some of the QML samples I placed in there:

/usr/local/Qt-rasp-5.5.0/bin/qmlscene samples/video_position.qml file:///home/pi/big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov

Those are mostly tests for debugging so they won't make much sense. Also you can run a command like this:

./piomxtextures_pocplayer --multipleanimtest /home/pi/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov /home/pi/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov

(You'll need to transfer a 720p video for this demo as it will be running both videos concurrently.) On Pi 2 the result you'd get with full optimisations is this:

The version of POT included is 5.0.0. I don't test the samples for every release so it is possible some do not work. You can go to https://github.com/carlonluca/pi/tree/master/piomxtextures_samples and get updates.

This image only makes sense for a quick test, it is not fully optimised and it is not even built with armv7 optimisations for Pi 2. I may provide updates in the future if I got a considerable amount of requests (unfortunately uploading full images requires a considerable amount of time).

You can however write your own qml samples and run right away. You can rebuild just the library and replace it to strip away debug messages or to build a newer version. Also you can write your Qt apps, cross compile using your environment and run on the pi.

As usual report bugs to github.

Bye ;-)

Binaries for Hardware Accelerated Qt 5.5.0 Multimedia Backend on Raspbian Jessie (Pi 2 only)

As someone asked, I tried to port POT to the recently released Raspbian Jessie. Everything works pretty much the same, except for a few changes. Unfortunately I needed to rebuild icu as well, the system build seemed not compatible as the compiler was updated to 4.9 in jessie. The new icu is provided in qtdeps inside the package. Everything seems to work as expected. Please report to github issues. For the moment only a build for Pi2 is provided.

Download PiOmxTextures 5.0.0 for Pi2 (Raspbian Jessie) here (extraction code is: 1e45).

NOTE:
The Qt build includes support for XCB platform but I never tested POT on XCB. This is the configuration of the Qt 5.5.0 build included in the package:

Binaries for Hardware Accelerated Qt 5.5.0 Multimedia Backend on Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 (5.0.0 stable)

This package includes mostly bug fixes over beta2. You can consider it stable in the sense that no one complained about severe bugs for a few days. You always have to test before going to production. Please fil bugs to github if needed. Refer to previous articles on how to use.
