H264 Hi10 4:2:0 is a dead-end codec. It's never got hardware acceleration support (a Rockchip SoC was rumoured to have hardware support - but Rockchip Linux support is lousy), and so the only real solution is CPU decode - which really means a decent x86 platform at the moment.
Hopefully the perceived benefit of H264 Hi10 (reducing banding on Anime re-encodes AIUI?) will transfer to H265 10 bit so that is used instead - which DOES have hardware SoC support (AML S905 does it for instance) in the future. We could then finally stop having to answer the same questions. Again. And Again. And Again.
