i5 has it's own gpu. but it requires a connected display to use hardware decoding.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get a new NUC to me.....

yeah, it's supposed to have one ( http://ark.intel.com/products/49022/Inte...e-2_40-GHz ) but there is no sign of it in the device manager. I suppose HP disabled it or something. Doesn't make sense to have two GPUs (intel HD + Radeon HD) sucking power on a notebook

Forgive my lack of knowledge but is the intel msdk a platform agnostic tool? I.e will Linux (and therefore openelec) be able to make use of the same features either now or in the future?

This will only ever be an intel solution, I assume? (Or will the software decoding work with an AMD CPU?)

Yes, AMD drivers doesn't support Intel MSDK, so on ADM GPU software decoding will work.

I wonder that too, i have an amd A6, wonderif thats powerful enough

I didn't test, but I think Core-i3 or similar from AMD should be enough for softweare decoding MVC.

I can test this already?
Teheres alreadya built to has it? Or too early?

[da-anda]

use the build linked earlier in this thread and give it a try. If you are not using an intel GPU, also download the dll afedchin linked earlier and copy it into Kodi's program root folder

I would like to know as well please.

It's possible to use Intel MSDK on Linux but in theory only. I cannot say more because Linux isn't my prefered system. @fritsch may say more I think

Can we get fritsch in here by any chance?

I could not find any code running on linux, besides some very, very expensive server sdk (5000 dollars+).

Thanks for clarifying.

I suppose it'll have to be a Raspberry Pie or Windows build after all. ffmpeg seemingly lost all interest in updating their code to be MVC-compatible so that's out the window too.

How do you know?

[fritsch]

I second that question :-)

[Cinephile]

Just my gut feeling.

A couple years ago they were apparently working on implementing MVC compatibility but there haven't been any updates since. There was a thread circulating around with some of their staff regularly updating the public on progress made. Not sure what happened to it.

I honestly don't think it would take them years to update their code if they really wanted to implement it.

I guess you're talking about libav?
