[ANSWERED] Can OSMC on RPI3 play Hi10p video

[Givre]

Hi, I’m new on using OSMC.

I’ve been trying to play Hi10p video (mostly fansub) with OSMC on my RPI3.

But it doesn’t seem to be correctly decoding the video (I get the same effect as when I use a non Hi10p supportive player on my PC)

So i’m here to ask if OSMC on RPI3 can plau Hi10p videos

Thank you for your answer

Hi,

Unlikely

Force enable Hi10P - advice please

Hi there, I am well aware that most Hi10p questions are met with “We don’t think the Pi is fast enough” etc, but either way I would still like to force enable it. All it needs is a codec to be enabled that does CPU decoding. Can anyone give me some advice as to how I would go about this? ps - I don’t mind if the results are bad, I still want to try it. Thank you

GPU doesn’t support and it will stutter playing software (CPU) only. You would be better off re-encoding.

Thanks Tom.

AFAIK RPI3 doesn’t support Hi10p in HW so it will only work with a SW-player. In which case the RPI3 probably doesn’t have enough power tot decode.

If you’d like to play Hi10p you should look into a device which supports it like the Vero4K.

Nope

Playback issues 60fps

Use mediainfo: Format profile : High 10@L4.0 The files that play incorrectly use 10-bit H.264 (aka Hi10P). That is not supported by the Pi (or any hardware codec). You’ll need a decent specced PC to play these files with software decode. Probably best to just avoid these encodings in the future.

Thanks, i’ll probably do the re-encoding stuff

It’s a format that never caught on outside of anime, so no HW decoder support.
There have been some optimisations though – so it might be possible with a v18 build.
