1. Check decoder.

```shell
khadas@Khadas:~$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep mpp
rockchipmpp:  mpph264enc: Rockchip Mpp H264 Encoder
rockchipmpp:  mpph265enc: Rockchip Mpp H265 Encoder
rockchipmpp:  mppjpegdec: Rockchip's MPP JPEG image decoder
rockchipmpp:  mppjpegenc: Rockchip Mpp JPEG Encoder
rockchipmpp:  mppvideodec: Rockchip's MPP video decoder
rockchipmpp:  mppvp8enc: Rockchip Mpp VP8 Encoder
typefindfunctions: audio/x-musepack: mpc, mpp, mp+

```

2. Decoding with H264 file.

```shell
khadas@Khadas:~$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=./test.h264 ! h264parse ! mppvideodec ! video/x-raw,format=NV12 ! filesink location=test.yuv
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
Redistribute latency...
New clock: GstSystemClock
0:00:01.2 / 1:04:25.7 (0.0 %)
0:00:02.2 / 1:33:57.6 (0.0 %)
```

3. Decoding with MP4 file.

```shell
khadas@Khadas:~$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=./test.mp4 ! qtdemux name=d d.video_0 ! h264parse ! mppvideodec ! video/x-raw,format=NV12 ! filesink location=test.yuv
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
Redistribute latency...
New clock: GstSystemClock
0:00:01.8 / 0:10:34.5 (0.3 %)
```
