View source for Raspberry Pi Video Decoder

= Raspberry Pi Video Decoding =
== Project Description ==

The Raspberry Pi has GPU video decoding capabilities. This project involves exposing those capabilities to Fedora video applications, by packaging new components or modifying existing packages, and getting those changes incorporated into either Fedora or the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix repositories.
Expected outcome: It will be possible to play video on the Raspberry Pi using GPU acceleration.
Maximum number of students: 1 (possibly more if multiple packages are affected).

<!-- Provides more depth than the Project Description.  This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details.  If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them. -->

== Project Plan ==

Tracking mechanism (bugzilla, trac, github, ...):

Key contacts:
<!-- Add links to any mentors or key participants in the community. -->

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
<!-- Note: each contributor is expected to have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
