ffmpeg: add V4L2 hardware decoding patches from LibreELEC

2026-09-15T20:40:22Z

V4L2 Request API hwaccels for stateless decoders such as Allwinner cedrus, exporting DRM_PRIME frames, and a V4L2 M2M deinterlace filter driving mem2mem deinterlacers such as Allwinner's sun8i-di on DRM_PRIME frames. The hwaccels introduce the v4l2-request and libudev configure options. Add the FFMPEG_V4L2_REQUEST option (pulls libdrm and libudev) to the libffmpeg menu, keep both new configure options explicitly off in the common block like the other autodetected ones, and re-add the *_v4l2request hwaccels under manual component selection. Patches: 120-v4l2-request-01 to -13: carried over from LibreELEC (packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches/v4l2-request/0001-v4l2-request.patch as of LibreELEC commit 79de202a10), one file per patch of the series: 01 avutil/hwcontext: Add hwdevice type for V4L2 Request API (Jonas Karlman) 02 avutil/hwcontext_v4l2request: Probe for a capable media and video device (Jonas Karlman) 03 avcodec: Add common V4L2 Request API code (Jonas Karlman) 04 avcodec/v4l2request: Add common decode support for hwaccels (Jonas Karlman) 05 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API mpeg2 hwaccel (Jonas Karlman) 06 avcodec/h264dec: add ref_pic_marking and pic_order_cnt bit_size to slice context (Boris Brezillon) 07 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API h264 hwaccel (Jernej Skrabec) 08 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API hevc hwaccel (Jernej Skrabec) 09 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API vp8 hwaccel (Boris Brezillon) 10 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API vp9 hwaccel (Boris Brezillon) 11 avcodec: Add V4L2 Request API av1 hwaccel (Jonas Karlman) 12 avutil/hwcontext_v4l2request: Add support for AFBC_16X16_SPLIT pix fmts (Jernej Skrabec) 13 avutil/hwcontext_v4l2request: Add support for BROADCOM_SAND128 pix fmts (Jonas Karlman) Co-developed by Alex Bee, Benjamin Gaignard and Ezequiel Garcia. 140-vf-deinterlace-v4l2m2m: carried over from LibreELEC (packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches/vf-deinterlace-v4l2m2m/0001-vf-deinterlace-v4l2m2m.patch as of LibreELEC commit 9ef6c9c6f7; Jernej Skrabec): adds the deinterlace_v4l2m2m filter Headers unchanged, hunks refreshed with quilt; the patched tree is identical to the one LibreELEC's files produce. LibreELEC's v4l2-drmprime patch (stateful M2M decoders) is not carried: it needs a rebase for FFmpeg 9 which LibreELEC has not done either. The V4L2 Request API series is under review upstream as: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20847 The patches here are taken from LibreELEC, though, as that's the set that Kodi is built and tested against, incl. some platform specific fixes.

ffmpeg: add LibreELEC's Kodi compatibility patches

2026-09-15T20:40:22Z

Patches: 110-libdav1d-get-format: carried over from LibreELEC (Lukas Rusak): adds a get_format callback to the libdav1d decoder so Kodi's hardware-first, software-fallback decoder setup initialises multithreaded software decoding properly; without effect until the libdav1d option is enabled 111-swscale-yuv2rgb-no-warning: carried over from LibreELEC (Christian Hewitt): removes the warning swscale logs on every context initialisation without an accelerated colourspace conversion LibreELEC keeps both in one file (packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches/libreelec/0001-libreelec.patch as of LibreELEC commit 5d54b2dd82); they are split here so each keeps its own header. Headers unchanged, hunks refreshed with quilt; the patched tree is identical to the one LibreELEC's file produces. Signed-off-by: Mirko Vogt

ffmpeg: re-add libpostproc as a source plugin

2026-09-15T20:40:22Z

Upstream dropped libpostproc in 8.0; Kodi still requires it. The --enable/--disable-postproc option the patch re-introduces is set explicitly: on together with GPL in libffmpeg, off in libffmpeg-mini. Patches: 100-postproc: carried over from LibreELEC (Matthias Reichl's rebase of Michael Niedermayer's libpostproc source plugin; packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches/postproc/0001-postproc.patch as of LibreELEC commit 5f03a122f8): re-adds libpostproc as a source plugin Header unchanged, hunks refreshed with quilt; the patched tree is identical to the one LibreELEC's file produces.

ffmpeg: update to 9.0.1

2026-09-15T20:40:22Z

Rework the package while bumping from 6.1.4. Variants: libffmpeg is the configurable build (menu "FFmpeg configuration"; the defaults give a full-featured build), libffmpeg-mini a fixed small decoder set for playback-only consumers; the two conflict. The former -full, -custom and -audio-dec variants are folded into libffmpeg: its menu carries the per-codec/format/protocol selection the custom variant had, controlled by a "manual component selection" option that is off by default. libffmpeg provides libffmpeg-full and libffmpeg-audio-dec as transitional aliases for consumers not yet updated. libffmpeg-mini no longer provides the libffmpeg virtual package: its fixed set is too small for the in-tree consumers of that name (mpd, minidlna), which need the default build; it is for consumers that depend on it explicitly. * deterministic configure: --disable-autodetect plus an explicit --disable baseline for everything configure would pick up from the environment; each optional library/hwaccel is one config symbol driving both the conditional DEPENDS and the configure flag * menu: licence, size/speed, programs, hwaccels (libdrm, V4L2 M2M, VA-API), TLS backend (default mbedTLS, OpenWrt's default TLS library), external libraries, system libraries, component selection. Defaults follow what in-tree consumers need: libopus, LAME (shine on soft-float) and libx264 on; fdk-aac only for a nonfree, non-GPL build. The ALSA input device is dropped (no in-tree consumer). libdav1d (FFmpeg has no native software AV1 decoder) and VA-API are prepared but commented out until the dav1d and libva packages exist in the feeds. * BUILD_PATENTED: vvc (H.266) is added to the patented component lists next to h264, hevc and vc1; FFmpeg 9 builds its native VVC decoder, parser, muxer and demuxer by default and H.266 is licensed through the same patent pools as HEVC. Build fixes for 9.0.1 are part of this commit; feature patches from LibreELEC and the options they introduce follow in separate commits. Patches: 010-pkgconfig: kept unchanged: expresses libdir and includedir relative to ${prefix} in the generated .pc files 020-libavcodec-fix-Wint-conversion-in-vulkan, 030-avformat-file-guard-fd_dup-by-FD_PROTOCOL-or-PIPE_PR, 040-vulkan_decode-fix-the-print-format-of-VkDeviceSize, 050-avcodec-dct-Make-declarations-and-definitions-match, 060-avutil-tx-fix-GCC-memset-warning, 080-avcodec-pcm-bluray-dvd-Use-correct-pointer-types-on-, 090-avcodec-tiff-Suppress-unused-variable-warnings, 100-avcodec-tableprint_vlc-Unbreak-hardcoded-tables, 120-avfilter-af_channelsplit-fix-mixed-declaration-and-c: dropped: merged upstream 070-avformat-rawdec-guard-by-CONFIG_DATA_DEMUXER: dropped: only silenced an unused-function warning in builds without the data demuxer 160-libavdevice-v4l2-libv4l2-posix-ioctl: new: libv4l2.h only declares v4l2_ioctl() with the POSIX "int request" signature when the consumer defines a feature macro first; FFmpeg detects that signature (HAVE_IOCTL_POSIX) but never tells the header, and GCC 14 turns the resulting pointer-type mismatch into an error. Define both macro spellings (v4l-utils <= 1.30 and >= 1.32). Same approach as q66's posix-ioctl.patch in Chimera Linux, also carried by Alpine, which defines one of the two names per copy 170-tls_mbedtls-build-without-version-module: new: OpenWrt's mbedtls package disables MBEDTLS_VERSION_C, so mbedtls_version_get_number() is not declared; fall back to the compile-time MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER 180-mips-cabac-no-mips16: re-added: restores the MIPS16 guard for the MIPS CABAC inline assembly from Rosen Penev's 030-h264-mips.patch (2020), dropped by the 6.1.2 update 190-configure-hevcparse-select-hevc_sei: new: configure's hevcparse component does not select hevc_sei although hevc/parse.c needs it; without BUILD_PATENTED the HEVC decoder and parser that used to pull it in are off while the default-enabled dovi_split bitstream filter still needs hevcparse, leaving ff_hevc_decode_nal_sei undefined The explicit GPL option and the explicit libdrm dependency follow Daniel Golle's 7.1.4 update proposal of this package, which was superseded by this PR/update.
