DB version was not bumped yet. I am not sure what to do here, cause we won't be able to track down bugs with this version as we - starting from a certain point - won't know if those are already fixed in the above master branch. I can think of a solution to provide one - as is - without support?
@wsnipex: what do you think?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Yeah - that's an OpenELEC upstream bug, sraue is working on that. It's the same with the official releases.

Not in any way related to this code ... h265 is sw accelerated on your slow atom cpu ...

If you cannot write C/C++ and don't want to implement the hwaccel for ffmpeg via vaapi - No - else Yes.
Edit: On your old Celeron: No - that CPU is too slow for HEVC in good quality.

We talk about HEVC decoding. The android boxes you are talking about have a dedicated HEVC decoder on dedicated silicon ...
Intel GPUs with dedicated hw support for this codec are starting from Braswell and later. Even the high priced Broadwell only has "enhanced SW support" to decode it - and that only on windows.

Fritsch, I installed Ubuntu 15.04 yesterday and noticed that the Intel driver from the Ubuntu repository is also 2.99.917 just like the linked deb in Dropbox. Is there still a difference between them?
