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.
Where I'm at a loss is as to how this hasn't happened yet. Some in the anime scene want the leanest and meanest compression, which is why it's really the only scene you see Hi10 in use. With HEVC/x265 available readily, why have a good number no jumped to that ship already?
