Hi,
amlogic cannot hardware decode main10 profile h.264 video streams, but both the S805 and S905 libreelec versions use the hardware to play them, resulting in artefacts and glitchy playback. Currently, there is only an option to either use or not use the "amcodec" decoder as well as options for chosing hardware acceleration for certain mpeg-2 and mp4 files.
My S905 box played my test files (720p/1080p h.264 main10) fine when I disabled hardware acceleration completely, but I would like to use the hardware where possible.
This problem does not appear on Libreelec/x64 with intel or nvidia graphics. There, regular h.264 files play using hardware acceleration while h.264 main10 play using software.
Is there any way to fix this or at least extend the playback options in settings to force software decoding on h.264/main10 video?
Best regards,
Magnus
