acording to the readme (https://github.com/s...reamer-libde265) it can be compiled for GStreamer-0.10. In addition to the source code they also provide ubuntu packages but i guess this is irrelevant for OpenPli.

 

Nevertheless, is there a roadmap for OpenPli 5, like Q4/2016 or Q1/2017?

There is no roadmap, it is ready when it is ready.

 

Afaik there are still some issues with a few box models, and we're testing the new OE in combination with gcc 6 which still gives some challenges.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

Nope, it's not news, but there are issues. There are quite a number of 4k streams encoded with h264, and the 4k doesn't play them. Same story for VP9.


I'm aware that this is a fairly old topic, but I was wondering which providers have ever used H.264 to encode 4K streams. I've never came across one myself, but that doesn't mean they didn't/don't exist. Bandwidth was/is precious and using H.264 to encode 4K content is just bollocks.

 

VP9 is a different story, but that's not even part of any DVB standard, so I'm not surprised that most set-top boxes didn't/won't play that. VP9 has been a big flop btw and there weren't that many adopters, except for YouTube. But since YouTube is owned by Google (VP9's inventor), that's no surprise. The next codec evolution will be AV1, which is already being used by YouTube and Netflix and many other will follow. I'm curious if that will be used by regular (satellite/cable) providers in the future.

 

PS. For non classic DVB purposes, you're better off buying a streamer such as an Nvidia Shield TV Pro or Fire TV Stick 4K MAX.

Some illegal IPTV providers does encode 4K movie in H.264. So yes its abnormal but it exists.

Hi,

in the beginning of 4K TV some german private stations had a test with UHD in 4K. I made recordings at that time and only my VU-Duo4K (without SE) was able to play it. I only have VU STBs.
