I have now tested rkvdec on a RK3328 device and needed to do 3 fixups, see [1].
Initial ffmpeg update using update h264 uapi is located at [2], the ffmpeg
update still needs to be tested with cedrus and hantro.
So far I have not seen any issue with the uapi changes.
Q: ffmpeg will not try to set SLICE_PARAMS or PRED_WEIGHT ctrls for
DECODE_MODE_SLICE_BASED, should userspace check if ctrl exists or is using
DECODE_MODE value okay?
I have also pushed an updated WIP branch at [3] containing high 10,
field encoded and hevc work.
