Can someone here compile and provide a build of latest Kodi master for Android with the patches from pull request #5374 merged in?

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5374

This is suppose to add initial HEVC / H.265 HW decode support for StageFright and MediaCodec so would be nice to test it too.

It appers that the a first initial patch for Rockchip RK3288 hardware HEVC/H265 decoding on Android (StageFright and MediaCodec API) have now been submitted as a pull request for merger into Kodi/XBMC here on GitHub

Many people are waiting for this before purchasing these new boxes, and I would guess that Android development help is wanted for this code to get it working properly

@devs, what is the status of pull request #5374 with its initial HEVC support for StageFright and MediaCodec?

Will it be merged into Kodi master as-is soonish? Any ETA on merger into mainline?

And do you think this initial HEVC hardware acceleration support will also make it into version 14 Helix?

More and more new relatively cheap Android based media player are coming out with HEVC / H.265 HW decode support now.
