I was told by the factory that XBMC handles HEVC hardware decoding on the RK3288 tv box.
I didn't believe it, so I've always deleted the included XBMC build and installed a nightly Kodi instead.
Today I decided to test the factory's claims due to this ongoing thread. Look at the difference in CPU utilization between the two builds (built in XBMC vs Kodi nightly)
Just at a glance, could this be just a standard deviation, or something more? Playback states were identical, nothing running in background and file was the same. Notice the built-in XBMC player identifies the video information as amc-hevc and the Kodi build player identifies it as ff-hevc.
The Kodi build eventually maxed out at 100% core utilization on all cores. That's what made it even more strange.
