Accelerated HW Decoding with FFMpeg

[dungrup]

I would like to use the HW accelerated decoder available on the Jetson Orin 64GB DevKit as mentioned in Welcome — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation and by @DaneLLL in this post Hardware accelerated video playback with L4T ffmpeg - #7 by DaneLLL

When I attempt this, I get the following error:

I also attempted to apply the patch mentioned here [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] ffmpeg:Accelerated hardware decode support on Jetson but its definitely not applying to the latest release. Which branch should I checkout from?

Hi,
Please refer to Jetson AGX Orin FAQ

Q: Is hardware acceleration enabled in ffmpeg?

[dungrup]

I am following the steps to build ffmpeg from source code. I am unable to download the source code. https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/ffmpeg is not a valid link and I cannot find anything related to ffmpeg in your repo. Am I missing something here?

Hi,
We can download the package:

ffmpeg_src$ apt source ffmpeg

Please follow the steps one by one and see if you can download it.

Hi,

I followed the steps and I still get the following error.

I can see in your prompt that its fetching the source code from main/main correctly whereas in my case its searching for a Release which does not exist.
