HEVC (H.265) hardware decoding support and others on Xbox One S and Project Scorpio

[wirezen]

Hello everyone,

is there any chance to have HEVC hardware decoding support through VLC on Xbox One S or Project Scorpio?

Which is the maximun resolution/bitrate supported for HEVC encoded videos?

Are there any visible quality dfference (renders, postprocessing, upscaling) between VLC and the standard video player of the Xbox One?

Does VLC support the official Xbox One Remote?

Last but not least, is it possible to delete content from a USB hard drive through VLC?

As you may have understand i've not bought an Xbox One yet but i'm seriously considering to buy one primarly as a media player, mostly thanks to VLC support.

Thanks for your support and sorry for my bad english!

Yes, it should be supported.

4K

Depends, but for the video quality, it should be the same, if hardware decoded.

Yes

No

Thanks for your quick reply Jean-Baptiste.

I'm glad to hear that nearly all the important features are already supported by VLC, but the last not supported feature ("delete content from a USB hard drive") is a game breaker for me :(

Not being able to fully control my content on the external drive means that i have to remember which episode/movie i've already seen and delete it - somewhere else - accordingly.

There's any chance that VLC will implement this function in the future?

Thanks again.
Regards
