I just read from page "1-Current(17)" What you all said makes sense but i disagree in one phase.. for the fact that x/h265 will be some "commercial" stunt
or that it'll take decades before it's available. for God sake this thing has been in the books even before x264 came to be known. what I'm trying to
say is right now even as x/h265 is still in Dev-phase and not fully capable of the features that has been planned on it(at least it's going somewhere)
features of a successor is been planned and i can bet that was the case with x264 back then
(Until the inception of the Iphone)smartphones were not really smart as they are today...(Talking Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for instance)
People - Humans make this things we are smarter than we were 10 Years ago(After all humans make the so-called smart-devices(we evolve))
it's quite cunning when i see people talking "decades"
x265 -
Renders an advanced x264 - (basically)
Saves bandwidth/Internet data costs - (It Kills me there
)
Mainstream companies Tech giants want us to have a feel of this already - (Galaxy S4)
We all wish it's that time x265 is a full-breed and we can all use it so fast - (I can bet that)
x265 is the future who doesn't like to see what the future holds? - (talking technologically)
-What people don't tend to get from what I've read so far is the XBMC-Foundation is an organized body.
1. Meaning - they have planned when and when-not to include x265 en/decoding and don't plan on adding it any soon as it's not part of their current agenda. (meaning it's not coming any soon)
2. They believe it still has some glitches that needs to be polished meaning even after v14 is planned if x265 is not conditionally balanced.. It might not make it to the build.(unless if the stands change)
3. Final Will not add x/h265 any time soon
Those talking about "davilla" my main man been a "closed-source" fellow are wrong infact like all of us he is very happy for the future/features that x265 Hold's and if given the chance would love to a hands-on "first-blood" tester
To conclude it all what The thread owner meant for this thread has been redirected to another location by those filled with anxiety and inability to wait for the future(Worry less about it, it comes sooner than you think)
What The thread owner opened this place for is a review of what x265 currently holds and discussions prior to his post (if i understood properly)
and future/feature improvements as time goes by - we get to know what's what for x265 inside this thread. and not a place were people get to lay their opinions about what should be and not what is.
I've typed much and wish to stop here i hope my message gets across to as many people as possible. considering the insight and clarity contained in it.
I'll subscribe to this and see what people have to say whether their attitudes towards open-source,xbmc,devs,davilla and the topic owner changes from here on.
That's my 2 Cent
