A serious examination of 1080p hi10p hardware requirements
#29
I Use a AMD 5350 on a MSI AM1i as my HTPC. currently using the latest stable release of kodi (ver 15.2). I have played a lot of 1+ GB Hi10p files (Ep) and 9+ GB (films) some with HD audio passthrough or 5.1 FLAC, and can report that it plays them without any hiccup. I have tried h.265 and its a hit and miss still needs testing, currently it depends on the encoder but was able to play a 1.5+ GB H.265 10bit with 5.1 FLAC file smoothly (only intro and outro stutter) maybe because its not a intensive video, and/or not sure if this is true but also the GTX 750 ti I have has a half decoder and is helping as well. (not sure if Kodi utilizes the h.265 decoders in Nvidia GPU's or intel iGPU 's)
