Was just wondering that H265 option, if select nuttin happens, does this mean my device does not support that playback?
h265 is a rather new format that is more compressed, stores more - 200mb for a 720p tv show when it is about 1gb with h264.
there are limited videos in h265 now but will incr.
your himedia q16 native player's software decoding can decode h265 files with usb playback.
however, kodi installed in the device cannot decode h265 streams, will not work.
for kodi to decode h265, it needs the right hardware decoding capability found in a limited no. of devices at this time.
and from what i read, himedia q10pro/q5pro is able to do that on kodi becos of a "himedia wrapper apk" that works with kodi.
will be good to know what other devices can stream kodi h265.
h265 will become increasingly common in the next 3 years, a successor to h264.
uhd/4k videos will then be much smaller in size, easier to stream.
