If it was not obviously you should of course be using the latest DirectX version/update from Microsoft and the latest device drivers from Nvidia

Many related bugs and issues could and should be fixes by using the very latest DirectX as well as the latest graphics controller drivers.

Kodi uses d3d11 Video API and it has a different implementation in drivers and d3d11 implementation may not support required format of textures. In same time MPC-HC uses Direct3D9 API and it may supports P010 texture format. I can confirm this only in debug with Visual Studio when directx debug layer is active but I have not any hardware to decode HEVC 10-bit.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Yes, I have the latest DX 11.1 and the Nvidia 359.00 drivers. JohnWayne1977 also reported the same problem with his W7 machine.

A little additional: The reason of the issue is a limitation of Feature Level 9.x which is used on Windows7 by Kodi to properly use Video API for decoding. Supporting 16bit textures (are required for decoder) is optional for the FL9.x. On Windows 10/8.1/8 Kodi can use FL11.x which has no this limitation.

Well, I guess it's time to move to W8 Smile

Thanks again for keeping Kodi for Windows alive and kicking.

Is it possible to add external player rules for source frame rate (sourceFps) and bit depth?

**afedchin** · 2015-11-28, 21:14

It's not possible. fps and depth are unknown till playback start

What about Nvidia Shield TV ? Does Kodi have a hardware acceleration for HEVC main 10 for this device ?
I am about to buy the shield TV and this is a deciding factor for me.

Yes it does, which you can read more about in the wiki here; http://kodi.wiki/view/Nvidia_SHIELD_TV and even more in the forum here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220297

Thanks for your response , it was really helpful.

Any updates as to when this will be implemented into the main build?
Also can anyone provide a link for the test build as it is no longer on any of the mirrors?
Thanks

RockerC · 2016-01-12, 16:51

What do you mean, it is already in the main build and will be include in the upcoming Kodi v16 (Jarvis) release

http://kodi.wiki/view/Development_builds

Just use the latest Beta of of Kodi v16 (Jarvis) release until the final is released if you can't wait.

Kodi can decode hevc main10 but only in software mode because the ffmpeg still has no support decoding hevc main10 by a hardware.

What? It should since FFmpeg branch 2.8 which comes in Kodi v16 (Jarvis) with VDPAI and VA API? But of course only if and when the underlying hardware supports it.

Checkout https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pulls?q=hevc+is%3Aclosed and http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=...=Changelog

Also remember that Kodi does not only run on Linux and Windows, as HEVC is supported on Android as well? But again if and when underlying hardware supports it.

Are you saying that Kodi can not hardware decode HEVC Main10 under Android on Nvidia Shield TV?

**afedchin** · 2016-01-13, 16:19

I said about decoding hevc main10 profile only. It doesn't matter dxva or/and vdpau/vaapi. It's not supported by ffmpeg yet. I don't know about Nvidia Shield, may be someone who more familiar in android can say about this a little more.
