This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.
Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!
@agx Does this VPU capability work within epiphany/firefox for streaming videos?

@leimon yes, that's why i wanted to get this going with #gstreamer since that's the framwork used by #epiphany/#firefox for video playback.
