Is HEVC supported? #15

Closed krisrok closed 2 years ago

krisrok commented 2 years ago

Just a quick question, is HEVC suppported as outlined here?

veldenb commented 2 years ago

Yes works. My personal experience is that HEVC works using 4K@60Hz till 15Mbps. On higher bit rates it looks like the Pi4 hardware decoder can't handle it using 4K. On lower resolutions higher bitrates do seem work.

Thanks for your quick reply, sounds great. Maybe I just have to try and migrate to LE 10 again.

Oh and: Can you maybe think of anything regarding if this same approach should or shouldn‘t work on LibreELEC 9.x and this plugin? I know it‘s a long shot but reading up on it there seem to be many factors at play and you‘ll likely have deeper knowledge about them.

When I started this project moonlight-qt was the only application that supported the pi4. I'm not sure moonlight-embedded has support for the pi4 now. This issue seems to indicate it does not: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-embedded/issues/760

Moonlight Embedded does support the Pi 4, but only via MMAL and the Fake KMS driver.

Thanks for clarifying that :)
