Compile fsl-image-multimedia-full with VPU HW acceleration

I successfully compile the fsl-image-multimedia-full image from freescale for Colibri iMX6.
That image includes gstreamer packages but I don’t find any library dedicated for iMX6 HW acceleration (aiurdemux, gplay, playbin2).

Hi

Could you elaborate a bit more what you exactly did?
I’m also interested in what layers were configured in what versions in build/conf/bblayers.conf.

According to the manual i.MX6 Series Yocto Project Multimedia User’s Guide, we should be able to read a transport stream (TS) using gst-launch with a aiurdemux or playback any file with gst-launch playbin2 or gplay. But no one of these are presents in the image provided by freescale.

bblayers.conf : 
 /home/poky/meta \
  /home/poky/meta-poky \
  /home/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  /home/poky/meta-fsl-arm \
  /home/poky/meta-fsl-arm-extra \

Do you need more informations?

Do you really mean gplay and gst-launch? They usually point to the gstreamer 0.10 based executables. Also, IIRC playbin2 is only available with gstreamer 0.10.

We at Toradex did not use krogoth, but I believe that gstreamer 0.10 support was removed from the freescale community provided layers.

So did you check if the gstreamer 1.0 executables (i.e. gst-inspect-1.0, gst-launch-1.0, and gplay-1.0) and plugins (i.e. playbin, aiurdemux) are installed?

gstreamer 1.0 executables are installed but aiuddemux and playbin. I think plugins changed with the v1.0.
It works great with gst-launch.
