Have libvdpau 1.0 and Nvidia 349.12 driver with a Geforce 960 but seems there is not HEVC Support:

Has anyone here got this working?

Update, you need Libvdpau 1.1 and a fresh vdpauinfo compile to get it working:

Don't seem to be getting acceleration though with any of my H265 test files (Although I'm unsure how to check which H265 profile the files need).

Without ffmpeg hwaccel and without adjusted VDPAU code it won't work.

Feel free to provide the bits needed.

Hi Fritsch,

Thanks for the reply. Am using a 15.0 nightly build and thought that they had H265 decode support. Does 15.0 need additional code work to support Nvidia HEVC?

**fritsch** · 2015-03-26, 10:05

Yes - on the ffmpeg side _and_ on the kodi VDPAU side.

h265 is only decoded via software for now. DXVA on windows got support for it (ffmpeg and kodi wise).

For you both bits are missing.

Thanks for confirming, will sit tight and hope that these addition make it to the 15.0 alphas.

Won't happen. We bump ffmpeg when it comes into a stable version, then we implement the missing bits in VDPAU.cpp

**fritsch** · 2015-03-26, 11:02

As said before: You can see and find out what is needed, check the already available ffmpeg impleentations, list patches (if available) and see what needs to be done in VDPAU.cpp (not that much from a first look).

hello krobar. which version of the os do you have? i've tried with lubuntu 15.10 with a zotac en970 (gtx 960) but i can't get it working...i've checked with windows 10 and dxva checker and all it's ok....

**fritsch** · 2015-12-31, 00:44

Post vdpauinfo - you need a v16 nightly.

this is my output http://pastebin.com/yvtjUHf6
the very strange thing is that under windows 10, with dxva checker, i can see the HEVC_MAIN as supported. i thought that the libvdpau was connected to the nvidia driver, not to kodi build

i've seen it...the strange thing is that the ZOTAC EN970 has a GTX 960 (not M) video card and under windows 10 the HEVC_MAIN is supported.

Tool old driver, too old libvdpau is most likely the reason.

Try a Milhouse build from USB stick and enjoy hevc main. Keep in mind: 8 bit only (!)

)?
