omx support

[Benedict Holland]

I had no luck with my rock64. It looked awesome on paper and their entire
stack is open sourced but nothing beat out the rpi. Also, OMX isn't
supported or developed AFIK. The other hvec264 encoder worked okay. I can't
remember the name. Something like hlvl or 2hvc? Something like that? At
least on the right.

Thanks,
Ben
