VLC 3.0.1 - Can't play 4K HEVC 10 bit HDR because of high CPU
Posted: 11 Mar 2018 22:29
Hello,
I can't play 4K HEVC 10 bit HDR content with latest and greatest VLC 3.0.1. The CPU usage is so hight that playback interrupts. VLC using 600%+ out of 800%
See screenshot:
System info:
Do I need to enable hardware acceleration for x265 in VLC? I had hard times to find in options where to enable it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
