The Cedrus media driver (For Allwinner SOCs such as A64) supported by mainline Linux supports H.264 and H.265 decoding as of Linux 5.10. Linux 5.11 will add VP8 decoding support.

Also coming in 5.11 will be a H.264 stateless video decoder interface. Gstreamer is working on support for this new interface, and FFmpeg is looking into it.
