vtb is private (even more it is flagged PROHIBITED in the headers) and doesn't bring any performance gain on tvos - this suggests that vtb internally also only does sw decoding on tvos. The A8 has power enought for 1080p decoding though.
There was a miss understanding - the issue only happens on 64bit arm builds when doing sw decode. It doesn't happen when using VTB decoder on ios 64bit. That workaround is not available for tvos. (as said - no vtb implemented here). But there is alot more to dig into for tvos - the player issue is only one of it (and of course at somepoint this will be solved ...).
