Do you know if hardware decode of 4K HEVC works on the Orange Pi 5?

The hardware specs for the RK3588S claim up to 8k@60fps HEVC but I have no idea if the hardware decoder is already supported with drivers.

decoding just means being able to actually read it right? I’m looking into figuring out how to transcode my 4k stuff for when I’m outside my network and my snyology 1621+ isn’t up to the task I don’t think.

Yeah. I think a Intel ARC 380 (or better) might be able to do what, but not sure.

The ideal option is a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU and use QSV, much more powerful than any of these SBCs, and the T/U CPUs used in USFF boxes have very low power consumption.

Your basic USFF box off ebay with one of those costs about $80 ready to go, so much cheaper than a Pi too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115924770193

Rad!! This is excellent, thank you friend. I have a lot of 4k remuxes with dolby vision/hdr10 and atmos. Would this be able to handle that? I would want to just transcode down to 4k streaming quality, or 1080p if I’m not connected to a 4k screen.

Hmm for HDR stuff I’m not sure which generation of QSV has good support for those, you might need to do some research on the Plex forums or Google and see what other people say.
