"No" as in "no hardware acceleration for 10bit h264 and no indications of upcoming 10bit h265" ?
Android Kodi boxes with "4K 10bit h264 & 10bit h265 hardware acceleration" are already preselling.
But if Kodi cannot actually accelerate either of them, then I wonder...
Well, with a fast enough CPU, anything can be done in software, but I don't know if there are any ARM boxes with sufficient horse power to get that done. Tested a shield, it comes up short doing software decoding, though it's hardware support IS it's main claim to fame anyway.
Once again, this is why my Kodi box's are powered by Intel quad cores.
Though I have to admit, the Shield ate 4K 60FPS HEVC for breakfast where even my i7 Extreme 4930K couldn't quite manage it in software.
