Hi all,

I'm considering getting a Rockchip TV-box or SBC, considering the early positive results for Hi10P H264 (a.k.a. 10-bit H264 "anime release") playback test by CNX on RK3229: Rockchip RK3229 Video Playback Take 2 – 10-bit H.264 & H.265, Audio HD Pass-through with Zidoo X1 II

The trouble is, I haven't found much verified information regarding the following:

Is the MPP in the RK3399 equal, or superset of the one in RK3229?
Will KODI in LibreELEC handle Hi10P files?? (The CNX article doesn't mention any specific players, so I assume it was tested on bundled players, running on Android.)

Notice there is no current support for RK3399 on LE right now, initial support is gonna be for some RK3328 SBC

I read that RK3399 is powerful enough to play that Haruhi test file on Android with software decoding, and I think that superceleron commented that hardware acceleration had problems with H264 10 bits files

I haven't found too much information about RK3328 and H264 10 bit but I will test soon when some TV Boxes that ordered arrive, right now I can confirm that RK3229 can only play H264 10 bits up to 720p with 16 Ref, not sure if 1080p with less Ref would play
