Good to hear!
(and impressive to hear that 720 HEVC is working on the AFTV, on any HEVC setting)

Unfortunately I haven't tried a 1080p HEVC file yet, but will do so.

Just got hold of a 1080p HEVC - and I'm seing the same thing.
Pulling up "codec info" shows all 4 cores maxed out, so it appears that it simply does not have the CPU power to decode 1080p HEVC files.
But... for such cheap box with no advertised support for HEVC I can't complain.

I did the same: went from Gotham 13.2 stable to Kodi v14 last night.
No settings or addons transferred. I had to start from scratch and install everything from config wiz all the way to addons.
(Yes, I did install Kodi before uninstalling Gotham).
I assume I must have did something wrong.

First of all, thank you for confirming the issue. Does this really mean, that I will never be able to watch my 1080p recordings on my AFTV? Or is there a workaround (without converting the videos)? Any advice would be appreciated.

1080p hevc? Nope. AFTV has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, which does not decode hevc in hardware.
What made you think it would work?

I was wrong. My TV recordings are not in HEVC format. I record movies in Germany, mostly in 1080p mode (with a VU+ receiver). Still, my AFTV - which is supposed to play these movies - doesn't do it. I already had minor buffering problems with Kodi 13.2. But now with 14.0 all 1080p movies (recordings and Live TV) suddenly appear in slow-motion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just installed kodi 14 without uninstalling the previous Gotham 13.2 which was working great on my aftv.
I am about to check if everything works ok now on kodi.
Once I am satisfied and see that all settings etc are working as before, what is the best way to uninstall Gotham 13.2 without affecting any settings and add ons that I want to keep on Kodi ? Can I just simple uninstall it from the sideloaded apps on aftv, or is there a better way to do from gotham 13.2 itself ?
Cheers
