To play an MP4 file on Torizon using the Verdin iMX8MP and Verdin Development Board, you need to ensure that you have the appropriate setup for running GStreamer within a containerized environment. Here are the steps you can follow:
Install TorizonCore: Make sure you have TorizonCore installed on your Verdin iMX8MP. This is necessary to run Docker containers.
Set Up Docker Containers: You will need to set up two Docker containers: one for Weston (the Wayland compositor) and another for your application that will run GStreamer.
Use the Correct Docker Images: Use the Toradex-provided Debian Docker images that include GStreamer and the necessary plugins for hardware acceleration. For iMX8, you should use the torizon/wayland-base-vivante image.
Configure Docker Compose: Use Docker Compose to manage the containers. Ensure that the Weston container is running and that your GStreamer application container is configured to use Wayland for display output.
Build and Run the GStreamer Pipeline: Inside your application container, you can run a GStreamer pipeline to play the MP4 file. Make sure the pipeline uses hardware-accelerated plugins for optimal performance.
Test the Setup: You can test the setup by running a simple GStreamer pipeline that outputs a test pattern to a Wayland window to ensure that the display is working correctly.
If you follow these steps and ensure that your containers are correctly configured to communicate with each other, you should be able to play MP4 files on Torizon using the Verdin iMX8MP. If you encounter issues, check the logs for any errors related to GStreamer or Wayland configuration.
