Our application requires smooth video playback using Qt Multimedia with PySide6 at resolutions up to 1080p.
I understand that Qt6 supports hardware acceleration for 3D graphics through the GPU, but I was unable to find confirmation regarding hardware-accelerated video decoding specifically for QtMultimedia.
Could you please confirm whether the STM32MP257 series supports:
Hardware-accelerated video decoding at 1080p
Integration of QtMultimedia with the hardware video pipeline
Support through OpenSTLinux / Yocto
We also require GPU-accelerated HTML5 video playback (1080p) in the Chromium browser.
Please confirm whether the STM32MP257 series provides:
A Video Processing Unit (VPU) or dedicated hardware decoder
GPU acceleration support within Chromium (ANGLE / EGL / GStreamer backend)
Hardware-offloaded 1080p video decoding for browser playback
We plan to use the STM32MP257 (MACRO package) for the following:
Qt6 + PySide6 video playback at 1080p
Chromium browser with GPU-accelerated 1080p HTML5 video playback
Full multimedia pipeline support (GPU/VPU availability and Linux integration)
Please confirm whether these capabilities are fully supported on the STM32MP257 series.
Your guidance will help us finalize our hardware selection.
