thank u very much again

Hi guys,

Can u confirm there s no problem for hw hevc 10 bits decode with AMD rx460 with linux ans kodi 17 rc3 ?

It won't work at all. Not implemented.

Ok i understand, thanks for yur answer

So only solution is going to windows to have full HEVC 10 bits HW decode with RX460 ?

On linux check Mesa ml. Current WIP.

hi guys maybe a short sum up is necessary as this topic is a few months old and there are many answers already.

my system:
intel pentium G4400 (skylake dual-core)
nvidia gtx 950
linux mint 17.3
kodi 17

question:
what is currently the best way do get 4k-10bit-HEVC hardware acceleration with kodi under linux?

As I noticed, my GTX950 is limited by VDPAU not being able to address 10 Bit range.

Would switching to my current CPU's successor Pentium G4560 fix the problem? Or should I exchange the GTX950 for an RX460?

Thanks for your advice!

Kabylake is the only option + building Kodi agile from source.

Don't forget Apollo Lake, this with millhouse builds also support 4k 10bit hevc.

maybe not very reliable. he just grabs my code (that has not been merged back to kodi master yet), without really knowing what he does. merge and pray ....

Nope, no 4K/10-bit support in my builds. Dropped as it's not in Kodi master (or even a candidate). Thanks fernet, love you too.

Come on guys ...

I picked that code, too, for testing purposes, so that some demo / testing sites had a chance to test hevc10 bit on Linux. The 10 bit part of the code of the vaapi side is no rocket science at all. It does the very same as before (different pic format from vaapi side) but instrumenting two new mesa extensions, which were missing and are still in no available official mesa code. The only thing that is needed was a one liner patch for ffmpeg or going with ffmpeg 3.2 alternatively to make it going on libreelec.

Worked nicely: http://www.technikaffe.de/anleitung-403-..._libreelec so far ...

To be honest I find it a litte bit hard to follow you answers but what I got is that currently even Kaby Lake wont play HEVC10bit@4k stutter free but with the future version of Kodi this problem should fix itself?
