This is somewhat off-topic but it's related to this new development: I'm using HSW hardware (a Celeron-based Chromebox) to run OpenELEC/Kodi. I encoded a concert with resolution [email protected] with Hi10p profile using x264 (avg bitrate around 5Mbps). That means I cannot use hardware decoding for the file.
The pop up menu shows that the CPU usage is around 60-70% for both cores. Still, I get a lot of skips per second unless I choose Bilinear as the scaling method.
Is it that the GPU cannot keep up or is the high CPU usage related? In either case, will the new development help me later on when it gets to the official code or should I forget the Hi10p profile for such material? I tested one similar concert which was encoded with an 8-bit x264 and it didn't have problems being scaled with Lanczos3 optimized to 1080p.
