Vision co-processor Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Jessie/OpenCV)

[Michael Hill]

If anyone has figured out how to utilize the H.264 hardware decoder on the Pi with OpenCV without virtual hardware, that would be awesome. I have a C920 camera, which has H.264 compressed output (which is why you pay so much for it). Just changing the fourcc capture property doesn't seem to do the business. I have heard of setting up a gstreamer pipeline (which does use to hardware decoder) and setting the sink to /dev/video1 can work, but I'd like a cleaner solution.
