Comment (by jbvsmo):

 Are there any news about allowing hardware decoding and/or enconding on
 the Raspberry Pi?
 The Raspberry Pi 2 model uses the same GPU from the older model.

 I believe decoding h264 could be implemented first to allow various
 players to really work on the device instead of only omxplayer. Also
 Chromium do use ffmpeg to play HTML5 video content, so this would allow a
 decent browser to be used.

 (From the [http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-
 devel/2012-September/131267.html mailing list])

 The h264 encoder is accessible through OpenMAX. This should be enough
 information to make use of it:
 http://www.khronos.org/openmax/il/
 https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/documentation/ilcomponents
 along with the decoder code in
 https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video

 p.s. App with GPU DEcoding - https://github.com/wrightrocket/omxplayer
