- The Wiki claims that MPEG2 is not decoded in hardware: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ama...own_issues
- This page suggests it's unknown (has a "?" for MPEG2 hardware decdoding): http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=And...e_chipsets
- When I turn libstagefright on, it says it's using the "stf-mpeg2" decoder, I see about 30% of two CPUs being used (about the same as H.264 playback with stf-h264)
- When I turn on software decoding only, I see about 70% of all 4 CPUs being used with (I think) the "ff-mpeg2" decoder being used.
So, what's the deal? Can this thing MPEG2 hardware decode or not?
Sounds like you've just verified for us that MPEG2 hardware decoding does now work on Amazon Fire TV. Anyone else want to confirm?
