Mar 08, 2015 Raspberry Pi 2: In this video, I go over MPEG 2 decoding on the Raspberry Pi 2 with and without the MPEG 2 License Key. I also go over installing the key on Raspberry Pi.
- VC-1 and MPEG-2 can be played at 1080p with an optional licence.:HEVC (H.265) video is not hardware supported, but 720p videos in HEVC format are viewable via software acceleration. 1080p videos in HEVC format is too much for the Raspberry Pi 1, 2 or 3's engine.
- Raspberry Pi Mpeg2 License Keygen. 0 Comments If I don't get a license, will MPEG-2 and VC-1 simply not play? Even on a raspberry pi 2. On the pi 2 mpeg 2 software decodes ok I discovered. I've had a bit of a struggle getting this post written, because I have been fluctuating between: 'Wow, Look, that's really great!'
This is an effort to reverse-engineer the Raspberry Pi license key check forMPEG-2 and VC-1 hardware video encoding.
Patch
A patch for start.elf, a firmwware blob for the VideoCore IV processor used byall Raspberry Pi models, was posted toredditby /u/fuck_the_mpeg_laon 03-03-2017:
Applying it to a4.14.44 start.elf(latest as of time of writing) results in the following diff:
Some initial analysis was done by q3kon Hacker News:
Yes, it seems to patch a licensing function at 0xEC95FD4 [1] to always return 1,by patching the jump at 0xEC95FE2 (that should be only taken for the always-allowed H263 codec)to always be taken, thus always allowing all codecs.
Reverse-engineering
The initial entry point is disassembled using theVideoCore IV pluginfor IDA Pro 6 by hermanhermitage.
Mpeg-4
After loading and analyzing start.elf, we can find the is_licensed routineat address 0xEC96290 by jumping to the file offset given to us by xxdbeforehand. The forest key generator free download. The relevant code sections are available insub_EC96290.asm and is_licensed.asm.

Here, two memory locations (0xEE86680 for MPEG-2 and 0xEE869E0 for VC-1)that point to the .bss segment are checked to determine the return value ofis_licensed. There are no other obvious references to these locations instart.elf, so memory-breakpoint debugging (TBD) is probably needed.
