So, is that what you want to do? Because I think that's not a very nice thing at all. My guess is that it's to enable the Pi's hardware decoding of MPEG-2 and VC-1 video files without paying for a license key. That would then mean the price of the Raspi would have to increased for everyone, as we would need to provide the MP4 licence for all, since the licencing scheme would be broken. This is an effort to reverse-engineer the Raspberry Pi license key check forMPEG-2 and VC-1 hardware video encoding. The only reasons you might want to do it are nefarious - to crack the licencing scheme, thereby costing the Foundation a valuable source of income, and perhaps causing MPLA to revoke their agreements with the Foundation to provide licences. There is NO need to change the serial number. And releasing any information to allow you to change the serial number would break the mechanism for codec licencing, so will never happen. I started a question on the raspberry pi stack exchange site yesterday, because it is a specific question with a specific answer:ĭom has access to all the source code, the Videocore debugger and many closed VC specific tools. Another Simon wrote:I'm more interested in editing than spoofing, but I guess this is getting a bit off topic.
