Oh, yes… That was a thing when fandangos changed the code for the shield. But what was the reason for the input buffer?
If I remember right, there were some error/warning messages in the logfile indicating a too small input buffer. But I don’t remember the real issue, while watching a movie.

Yes that was also a thing in early days. I remember a document, which described that the different dv profiles need different codecs (if this is the right word).
Here is the document:
https://www.diversifiedvideosolutions.co...tories.pdf
Different chapters of that document show the following:
• profile 4/5/7 use codec dvhe
• profile 8 uses codec hev1
• profile 9 uses codec avc3
But I think this was never coded that way @
fandangos. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

From the description of this PR https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/17876, dvh1 might be preferred.
I also remember that there was a dev @
sk83 who gave us a leia build with an advancedsettings.xml, where you could configure which codec should be used by the different profiles.
It would be nice to see this option back sometimes.
