Hi,

I just wanted to contribute, that HEVC videos, created by x265 library (through MediaCoder, in my Case) - MKV container-
are showing artifacted pictures, that do not show anything from the video, but unrelated stuff that was played before, mixed into a weird collage of pixels.
They do show a correct preview image though, automatically extracted from the video by Kodi!

these are my x265 encoder parameters:
Code:
x265  --preset medium --no-open-gop --keyint 250 --scenecut 40 --wpp --lft --sao --vbv-maxrate 6000 --vbv-bufsize 2500 --bitrate $(VideoBitrate) --threads 16 --input-res 1920x1080 --fps 25 --input-csp i420 --stats "$(PassLogFile)" --pass 1 - NUL

HEVC videos created by the DivX Converter are played perfectly.

Is this a known issue?
I am running the latest nightly (18 January) on an MXQ android box with Hardware-accelerated S805 amlogic chip.

FYI: The external HEVC player wont play these x265 files either.

EDIT: I figured, submitted it as a bug just now.
