A lot of my Blu-ray rips use that stupid vc1 codec. So they are unwatchable using Kodi. I have to use either Emby or Plex servers to watch them, since those servers transcode them on the fly to a different video codec.

The AML S922X has enough CPU grunt to Software decode anything 1080p inc. VC-1.
You simply use Android Kodi’s decodefilter.xml:

However CPU Software decoding heats up the SoC so you then need a good heatsink for passive chipset cooling. Those cheap Aluminium ones the Chinese devices come with are probably not going to be sufficient.

I don't understand what that link was telling me, went way over my head.
