Later I modified the tutorial 3 to use the following pipeline,</div><div><br></div><div>gst_parse_launch("filesrc location=/storage/emulated/0/myhevcfile.ts ! tsdemux ! queue ! openh264 ! avdec_h265 ! autovideosink sync=false", &error)</div><div><br></div>This too works fine but the playout is really slow since I suppose its using the software decoder. Hence I would like to change it to use the Hardware decoder. The MX player seems to be using the hardware decoder using the OMX plugin. I have been trying to do the same but without any luck.<br><div>I see that 'androidmedia' is listed as part of the GSTREAMER_PLUGIN_CODECS which I have specified in the Android.mk file however it doesn't seem to be loaded when the application starts while all other plugins load fine. I don't see any 'ahc' error either. I believe the OMX hardware decoder will be accessible through it, correct?</div><div><br></div><div>Please can you give me some pointers on how to get the HEVC video to playout using the hardware decoder?</div><div><br></div>thanks,<br>V<br></div></div></body></html>
