<PA4PR07MB8647699A51074D2E7B5427B7D0CE9@PA4PR07MB8647.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com>Hello, I’m currently doing a small project with a Raspberry PI 4, and I wanted to switch from rpi os to Alpine. The problem is that I need to play video files (H264) using the integrated hardware decoder, and I can’t seem to get it working. After the initial setup, I enabled the edge repository and installed : * Vlc * Ffmpeg (just in case) * raspberrypi v4l-utils * mesa-dri-gallium And edited my boot.cfg file with gpu_mem=128 # Raspberry Pi 4: dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d I used this wiki page : https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi I can see that the text on the monitor connected to the Raspberry pi is now smaller and the screen is running at native resolution, but trying to play a sample H264 video with vlc is a nogo : rpi:~$ cvlc Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_30MB.mp4 VLC media player 3.0.17.3 Vetinari (revision f639afdc2d) Failed to create secure directory (/media/mmcblk0p2/data/.config/pulse): No such file or directory [0000007f80431d50] vlcpulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused [0000007f8072d810] dbus interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 [0000007f8072d810] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0000007f80542b50] main libvlc error: interface "dbus,none" initialization failed [0000007f8072daa0] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0000007f80542b50] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0000007f7ffbf1e0] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
