has anyone tried playing hevc clips with no fast decode using build #0518

I assume myself, Milhouse, wrxtasy and slack3r have. What was the question?
The general consensus is that this build is an improvement on the previous one.

If you have a sample that is 720p and doesn't play well then provide a link and we'll look into it.

yeah, i looked up the benefit of not using fast decode and still don't know what it is..any who, i'll try some encodings with no fast decode to see what the benefits are and if i have issue playing in build 0518 or not.

Fast Decode
--tune fastdecode disables encoder features which tend to be bottlenecks for the decoder. It is intended for use with 4K content at high bitrates which can cause decoders to struggle. It disables both HEVC loop filters, which tend to be process bottlenecks:

--no-deblock
--no-sao
It disables weighted prediction, which tend to be bandwidth bottlenecks:

--no-weightp
--no-weightb
And it disables intra blocks in B frames with --no-b-intra since intra predicted blocks cause serial dependencies in the decoder.
