I have noticed that latest SPMC from Google Play (16.4 based, I believe) will not play H.265 content correctly on the mibox; I get green screen. However, the latest Kodi from Google Play (16.1 based) plays it fine.
Anyone know the reason for that?

Strange... Could you try on spmc with the "plain" mediacodec disabled, leaving "surface" on?

"Plain" mediacode disabled with "surface" on is my standard setting. I find that many H.264 videos don't play smoothly with plain mediacodec enabled.

I have tried all the combinations of "plain" mediacodec and mediacodec surface enabled/disabled. None of them allow H.265 to play correctly on SPC. (But Kodi 16.1 is fine, as I mentioned.)

If it helps, here is what mediainfo says about the video I'm playing:
- 1 video stream: HEVC
- 1 audio stream: AC-3
- Overall Bitrate 4388 kbps
- First Video Stream: 4001 kbps, 3840x2064, 23.976 FPS, HEVC (Main 10@L5@Main)
- First Audio Stream: 384 kbps, 48.0 kHz, 16 bits, 6 channels, AC-3
