As the title says, I wanna ask if the Axon 7 Mini supports 10-bit H264 hardware decoding. I'm not entirely sure, but according to Kodi's wiki on Android Hardware (not saying this is the most credible source, but I couldn't find anywhere else anyways), the mini does have HW decode for both H264 and H265, but without any notes, implying it can do up to 10bit I'd assume. If it DOES actually support 10bit, is there a way to make use of it? I have no luck with MXPlayer so far.
Hi @auxillium,
Could you tell me what's the 10-bit H264 hardware decoding? Is it a kind of flash or root? Pls forgive my ignoreness.
Thanks in advance!

It's for playing videos. 10bit is the color depth and H264 is the format. Hardware decoding is when there's a dedicated chip for doing a certain task, which is often faster than having it done by the CPU itself. In this case, I'm asking if the Axon 7 Mini's chip is capable of hardware decoding videos of the format H264, with 10bit color depth.

I have some hockey and ski movies in mkv (various resolutions up to 720p) and it is impossible to watch them on Streak - they all lag as hell.
Should enabling h/w acceleration in build.prop help in this case?
I tried that and didn`t notice any differences but maybe i am missing something... - i read somewhere that maybe the ROM doesn`t handle this acceleration and some additional lines in build.prop should be added but have no idea whether it is correct or not.
Did anyone tried to play mkv`s or play with h/w settings in build.prop?
Cheers
Krzysztof
Edit:Wrong thread
EDIT: Wrong thread! D'oh
afaik hardware accel must be, well, hardware dependant. I'm not sure that the streak contains hardware that mkv videos can take advantage of. for example, divx videos (which are alot more common than mkv) are not hw-accelerated.
You may have to reencode them in a lower bitrate or resolution... H.264 video at around 4 mbps seems to be about the sweet spot from what I can tell. On videohelp.com are plenty of guides, I prefer megui for working with mkv's and mp4's.

Yeah, i guess that i was spoiled by Galaxy S video playback..
No big deal - Streak is great in all other aspects
I bought me a Lenovo Tablet yesterday and wanted to try out to play HD Videos on it.
Sadly my videos are lagging and the audio is async... I tried it with MX Player and Mobo Player, both installed the ARMv7 Codec. What i'm curious about is, that the Tegra v2 Chip should to decoding of 1080p h.264 Material in Hardware (my video was h.264 720p in a MKV Container) and both players showed me that they decode the video in software...
Is there any player that can play my mkv videos without lagging around? Or do i just need to adjust something?

Try different players but it's def not capable of 1080 and even has issues with 720p main and high profile

mhh but the nvidia site says something different...
so the chip itself should take care of that... maybe its just a firmware issue?
The screen is 1200x800 so there's really no way to play 1080p on it. Even 720p is going to be cropped. The only way to do 1080p is over HDMI without mirroring but apparently that isn't very smooth so 720p seems like a much better option.
Tried a reboot and/or turning Wifi off/on again? It's worked for me.
Basically the chip can do it. The Tegra 2 has some special HW IP inside that will do the decoding. Most of the Tegra 2 tables are unable to use it because the vendors are not supplying the codecs and filters that make use of the HW block. So you are somehow limited to the codecs and resolutions that are choosen by the manufacturer/Nvidia. You can't change anything and as far as I know Nvidia also isn't distributing this part open.
I'm also quiet disappointed seeing that chinese pads with Telechips MCU (ARM11 single-core) can playback almost everything up to full-HD and the Thinkpad Tablet can't.
Dice Player.
It is the ONLY working HW accelerated player in my experience....
mkv files, everything plays well on it....
There is a similar named thread a few threads down, but that one was asking about formats.
I'm asking if anyone has a guesstimate as to the tablet's ability to software decode 1080p 10bit (obviously for anime).
Most people encode bluray videos in 8bit for those who aren't aware.

I want to know if it can play a 4k video seamlessly (hardware decoded of course).

It's wouldn't count on amazing software decode performance at 1080. If you've got a hardware decodable format, you should be fine.
As for the one above me, I think 4k hardware should manage ok, but we'll have to wait and see.

Well, at the moment, the 10bit format can't be properly hardware accelerated. It has to be done via software decoding, but after googling around, I think the Nexus 10 should be able to do 720p 10bit.
I was also wondering about 4k playback. I would very much like to play super high resolution video on this thing with good performance. Hopefully the ARM Cortex A15 cores are up to the task.

I'm deciding if I would buy the KEYOne and I want to know the device support hardware decode for 10-bit HEVC videos.

instead of searching if the device support h.265...
just check if snapdragon 625 supports it or not.
and it does according to this:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/625
It DOES. But it does not specify if its just 8bit or 10bit, regardless, always search by the processor instead of the device.
From wiki, only Snapdragon 820 and up specify supporting 4k 10bit hevc hw decoding
(First time posting here. Also, sorry for bad english.)
So, my phone has hardware support for HEVC decoding,
or at least according to the Media Codec Info app (omx.mtk.video.decoder.hevc appears on the codecs list).However MX Player only plays these kind of videos with software decoding. Can anyone explain to me why? Sorry if i asked this in the wrong place.
