Great news !!!
For your review, please consider testing HEVC (h265) videos.
Thanks :)
Thank you for your comment. The NUC5i3RYK came today, so time to start playing with it. Do you have any suggestion on HEVC sample videos to use? Unfortunately I don’t have a 4K display at my disposal, but I presume that downscaling to 1900×1080 does not introduce that much of a performance hit…
you can find some sample here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=201888&pid=1771810#pid1771810
(if you contact me privately I can provide some samples, max 720p)
Maybe 4K is too much for this unit, I was more interested in 720/1080 HEVC videos decoding
(x265 is beginning to get used)
