Have just checked playing an HEVC Main 10 2160/50p file in Kodi under Ubuntu MATE on the C2. Plays fine with <10% on all CPUs. 1 drop and 3 skip at the start reported.
However my TV is not reporting 10 or 12 bit input, so I assume it is being truncated to 8 bit between decode and output.
The artefacts I was warned about are present in both the Ubuntu and Android Kodi versions I've played it in.
Also would not recommend playing 720p (and to a lesser degree 1080p) in 2160p mode - the upscaling is fixed and far-from-great, giving 720p jagged edges if you look closely (looks to be a nearest-neighbour style scale rather than anything nicer)
