Going back through previous builds... it looks like the HEVC Big Buck Bunny issues aren't regressions in #0209 after all - the problems existed in earlier builds. I've gone back to build #0120 and the restart-on-seek issue is there too, which makes me wonder if I've just never before tested seeking while playing these files.
Also, given that 1080p has never been playable until now, this is the first time I've tried playing the 1080p file all the way through, which may explain why I've only just noticed the restart issue after 1m24s (or so) - this same issue is present in build #0120 too.
I'd imagine the issues are linked... maybe missing index information or i-frames? VLC on Windows has a hard time seeking within these BBB files.

A hint for people seeking to overclock their SDRAM from stock 450 MHz on a RPi2 using the new firmware and the schmoo parameter...
To verify stability, try running memtester using "nice" on command line, but four times with e.g. 200 MB RAM each. Watch using bcmstat.sh how high temperature climbs. Verify using e.g. htop that all four cores are indeed busy.
At 500 MHz I can reach 75°C for the SOC but then errors will happen. I used disable_pvt=1. Bottom line for my RPi2 was that ARM at 900 MHz, core 450 MHz and SDRAM 450 MHz will be okay, 1000/500/450 only somewhat stable with hiked ARM voltage, SDRAM > 450 MHz unstable in above stress test whatever I do.

Wow, the new firmware is amazing. I've had success playing a couple of 1080p h265 files with zero issues. Overclock settings are Arm1050, SDRAM600, Core500.

Hello,
Can't update my Rpi (not Rpi2) with any of the latest builds (from February), says "size check failed"
Seems due to the main partition that is now too small for the new big 129 Mo releases
I am currently stuck on #0131
Thanks

RPi 1 (Rev 1 or 2) or 2 ?
2A power supply definitely helps, mine is a bit weak...
I'll try and change it for a more powerful one

Rpi2. No idea if there are different revisions of the rpi2.
