Not so long ago pi3 struggled to decode "simple" 720p hevc, now it does hevc encodes from bluray source 1080p@30fps (by git ffmpeg + git x265) with relatively low cpu load ...
What you already did is truly amazing.
Completely agree with this :-)
Some examples. I am now able to play hevc videos on a Pi 3 full screen, no letterbox, with lots of detail and movement.
1920x1080 (1080p), 31fps encoded with Handbrake with a quality factor of 22RF which is quite acceptable, even close up on a high resolution monitor.
This is about as high as I can go, at this resolution with the quality setting, without occasional missed frames.
1280x720 (720p), 31fps encoded with Handbrake with a quality factor of 16RF which is way higher than I would normally use, again looks great close up on a high resolution monitor.
This is still only using about 50% CPU on the four cores. Even at a quality factor of 12RF the CPUs are still only maxing at about 70%
Much thanks to Popcornmix (Dom), Milhouse and presumably the mysterious John.
Thanks for your continuing hard work.
Regards, Kevin.
PS. I actually use a Slice as my day to day TV media box, so I'm hopefull that Chewitt will be able to get these latest improvements on to that in the future. :-)
