[Libva] Evaluate VP9 Hardware accelerated encode/decode on KabyLake

[Vijayaraghavan, Vasavee]

Sorry, didn’t realize I had to reply all. Reposting my message again:

Hi Haihao,

Thank you for your response.
I am not sure if I have to use a specific software for my tests, but looking a bit about the below three options (ffmpeg, gstreamer and libyami) and assuming I go with libyami, do I have to:

1. Simply Follow the build procedure given here: https://github.com/01org/libyami/wiki/Build after installing the specific Linux OS

(Or)

2. Do I have to build the entire graphics software stack after installing the Linux OS including:

	Linux Kernel - 4.7.2
	Mesa - 12.0.1
	xf86-video-intel - 2.99.917
	Libdrm - 2.4.68
	Libva - 1.7.2
	vaapi intel-driver - 1.7.2
	Cairo - 1.15.2
	Xorg Xserver - 1.18.3

as mentioned in https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2016q3-intel-graphics-stack-release

-Best Regards,
Vasavee

Hi Vasavee,

You can run a software using VA-API to evaluate VP9 hardware accelerated encode/decode, suc as:

libyami:
https://github.com/01org/libyami (core) https://github.com/01org/libyami-utils (utilities based on libyami)

gstreamer-vaapi
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gstreamer-vaapi.html

or a FFmpeg/Libav based player which enables HW accelerated decode.

Thanks
Haihao
