While the original softhddevice plugin is not actively maintained anymore, there are multiple forks which concentrate on improving and adding functionality.
At the moment yavdr-ansible has been adapted to use one of the following outout plugins:
| Paketname | VDPAU | VAAPI | HEVC | ffmpeg | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice-vpp | Yes | Yes | Yes (Software) | 3.4 | fork of softhddevice, supports VDPAU and VAAPI |
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice-vdpau-hevc | Yes | Yes | Yes (Hardware) | 3.3 | built using ffmpeg 3.3, so HEVC decoding using VDPAU works |
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice-openglosd | Yes | No | No | 3.4 | fork of softhddevice mit hardware accelerated OSD |
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice-openglosd-ffmpeg-2.8 | Yes | No | No | 2.8 | seems to work more reliable with ffmpeg 2.8 |
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice | Yes | No | Yes (Software) | 3.4 | fork of softhddevice-vpp, adapted for newer ffmpeg versions |
| vdr-plugin-softhddevice-ffmpeg-2.8 | Yes | No | No | 2.8 | original softhddevice, built using ffmpeg 2.8 |
| vdr-plugin-vaapidevice | No | Yes | Yes (Software) | 3.3 | VAAPI only variant of softhddevice-vpp |
| vdr-plugin-vaapidevice-hecv | No | Yes | Yes (Hardware) | 3.3 | like vaapidevice, built using ffmpeg-3.3 |
| vdr-plugin-softhdcuvid | Yes | No | Yes (CUVID) | 3.4 | for Nvidia cards with CUDA/CUVID decoder (GT630 Kepler and better) |
| vdr-plugin-xineliboutput | Yes | Yes | Yes (Software) | 3.4 | supports VAAPI and VDPAU, works without hardware acceleration in VMs |
HEVC can be decoded in hardware with Nvidia GPUs starting with GTX 950/GT 1030 or later and with Intel IGPs beginning with the Skylake generation (more than 8-bit per color channel requires Kabylake or later). Output is limited to 8-bit per color channel. Nvidia cards can output 10-bit via DisplayPort if the monitor supports a 10-bit RGB format.
- softhddevice-vpp
- distorted colors with certain Nvidia cards (e.g. GT630 with Kepler chipset)
- VDPAU using ffmpeg 3.4/3.3
- crashes on certain channels, in this case try a plugin variant which uses ffmpeg 2.8
- VDPAU and VAAPI with 3.4
- no hardware accleration for HEVC, use a plugin whis has been built using ffmpeg 3.3 instead
