Were your 10-bit files HEVC or Hi10p. If it is the latter, then there is no hardware decoding for that and most SoCs will choke on it.

The files I tried were labeled 10bit HEVC. I checked the codec in VLC and is just said HEVC 10-bit. Obviously the file worked on my full windows HTPC with no issues.

I hope that answers your question.

Can confirm, I can play 10bit with Movie Player. One major draw back is I can't do any network streaming with the Movie Player.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the code from this into Kodi/SMPC or anything that is a good robust player?

Strange. I don't know why mine was having issues playing the file. We have the same copy of the player so I am not sure why yours works and mine doesn't.
