Hi All,
I noticed the rest of the chain for VDPAU HEVC decode was marked stable in last month or so:
NVidia Driver support has fixed most of the bugs 2 releases ago (Including what held back FFMPEG)
libvdpau support is good in V1.2+
FFMPEG support is no longer marked as experimental
Are any app changes needed? Is Kodi 16 likely to support 4K HEVC decode?

Just Installed Kodi 16 Alpha 3 along with Libvdpau 1.1.1 and the Nvidia 355.12 driver. Doesn't seem to be any hardware HEVC decode support though (Using an Nvidia Geforce 960). Do I need to do something else to enable the support? Or is the Ubunutu package not built with a new enough version of FFMPEG?

make sure your libvdpau has hevc support. IIRC 1.1.1 is not enough

Retry and don't cut the important parts.
Btw. As you are at it, your 24.0 and your 23.976 hz mode is totally wrong. Nvidia needs an xorg.conf to get those correct. But that has nothing to do with HEVC.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
