Thanks for the update.

The Kodi settings are fine and so I will leave things as they are.

A fair amount of my HEVC was 10 bit, so that does at least clarify something and I am sure that Collabora will find the feedback useful.

I did a quick update to Version 20250717-rk3588-gbm on my Orange Pi 5 using the tar and was initially full of excitement at seeing the options to pick either ELG or Direct to Plane for the hardware acceleration.

But most (X265 in particular) content tested either showed 'Inactive' for hardware acceleration or just ended up with a spinning wheel and 'Working' , where nothing would even begin to play, regardless of whether I chose EGL (which was more successful overall) or Direct to Plane.

But then I also had to remind myself that H265 hardware acceleration has not been implemented for inclusion yet anyway, so my expectations were unrealistic for what I was generally testing.

But I did also wonder whether a fresh installation is the best initial way to go anyway, so will do this and report back.

A definite step forward with the ability to choose these options and I can already see what direction this is heading, which is positive.

The cleaner hack definitely takes things another step forward.

Good that somebody came up with some devices to get you started.

Look forward to whatever early builds you can create and will give as much feedback as I can.

This looks potentially promising.

LKML: Detlev Casanova: [PATCH 11/12] media: rkvdec: Add HEVC support for the VDPU381 variant

It seems to indicate that Detlev Casanova, who had been working on H265 decoding for the RK3588 may have made some progress?
