Information Codec X265 ?

sabrina · Published in 2016-2-22 01:53:38

Hello I have a Raspberry Pi with 2 OpenELEC everything works properly apart from the management of X265 codec 720p and 1080p.

Is the Orange Pi PC, works with the X265 codec in 720p resolution?
Also the HDMI CEC work?

Thank you

ps: I would not buy a card that the same thing as the Raspberry Pi 2

Yes, H265 works ok.

No, HDMI CEC doesn't work.

you have a video demonstration for the X265 ?

Just a nitpick: x265 is just a software - encoder, it's not a codec itself. H265/HEVC is the codec, and x265 produces H265/HEVC video -- there is no codec called x265. Lame, for example is an MP3 encoder -- it produces MP3 files, the codec itself isn't called Lame. There are multiple H265/HEVC encoders, both software - based and hardware - based, like I often use NVENC included in my GPU to produce H265/HEVC - video as it's so much faster than doing it in software.

When asking questions or talking about it you should talk about H265 or HEVC unless you specifically mean the encoder called x265.

Hi jernej

Can you provide any info on how did you play it? I mean which image did you use? I am guessing android?
Appreciate if you can help me with this

I bought the board reading H3 Quad-core Cortex-A7 H.265/HEVC 4K

But I can not play HEVC videos.

What did you do till now? Did you burn precompiled image in sticky thread?

This project uses plain Linux, no Android inside

Does anyone know what H.265 profiles does CedarX in H3 support ?

Does it simply support Main, or is Main10 (10 bit) also supported ? I'm asking this because lots of releases use 10 bit and they dont seem to work with OPI-PC. Now i wonder if this is simply a software issue with openelec or does the hardware actually lack support....

There is no document which would suggest 10 bit support, so it is safe to assume that there is no support. I wasn't strict at format detection. AFAIK, only few rockchip processors support 10 bit video decoding.

So 10 bit videos are out of the question for now. Could 10bit support be added via hybrid fashion, sorta what intel is doing on skylake to provide 10 bit support (although fixed hardware only supports 8 bit) ?

Can you give any technical details on this technique? Anyway, even if it's possible, someone else would need to do this. I have limited knowledge about codecs and CedarX library is not open source. Currently I'm migrating to libvdpau-sunxi, which would allow such modifications.
