Re: Compile VLC with HW acceleration - complete tutorial

Maybe you have a newer version. In my config file it's included.

Try without that option, but maybe you'll get a compiler error later on. This error was the reason why I excluded the ogg support (partially).

Re: Compile VLC with HW acceleration - complete tutorial

That gives a hint. Try reconfiguring and compiling with these options:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-rpi-omxil --disable-ogg --disable-mux_ogg  --enable-realrtsp
realrtsp is disabled by default.

Re: is there a real advantage to use C++ over Python?

Use Python for prototyping. You'll need less code (by a factor of 10 or more). If it's fast enough, you're done. If not, try to speed it up with better Python code (like using pre-calculated data from a table instead of doing the calculation each time). If it's still too slow, rewrite it in C.

Maybe your web server (never used Java / Tomcat) is bound to localhost (127.0.0.1) only be default. Make sure it is bound to all interfaces (usually 0.0.0.0), which will include the local network IP of your RPi. Port forwarding is only used for external access (from the internet) to your server.

Re: Video streaming from Pi

Even the HW accelerated version of VLC cannot be used for transcoding.

There are two projects I know that use HW acceleration for transcoding:

omxtx (more a proof of concept and never updated)

gstreamer-1.0 with omx support

I'm not sure if either one can be used for real time transcoding.

Re: book scanning with camera

Not without modifying the optics. You'll need at least a near lens in front or have to modify the lens position (there are threads about this). With optimized optics you'll get almost 300 dpi for standard book sizes. But the image quality might not be good enough for OCR without some post processing...
