I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linaro, but mp4 files do not work fine. I tried with the software pre-installed, and then with mplayer. What software do you recommend to take advantage of the GPU, as omxplayer in raspberry? Thanks
Same thing. I tried VLC but it does not work because there are no xvideo devices. I even tried to use mplayer, that works fine with no hw acceleration (-vo sdl), but the window size must be kept small otherwise the video performance is really poor. I tried mplayer with -vo gl but there is an issue with Open GL beacuse it cannot find GL_ARB_fragment_program. I verified with glxinfo that GL_ARB_fragment_program is not there. In the end I am unable to play a video file in full screen, any suggestions?
I was really hoping this was going to work as I wanted to use my udoo in a mutlimedia project. Is there no way to play full screen video through hdmi?
The only way I found so far (and which works really well) is to install the xbmc image and use that for all multimedia related purposes.
Yep. xbmc is great as a multimedia system. Try this one: openelec-udoo-t1374-50.html?hilit=openelec#p10271
