Currently XBMC does not support the [[wikipedia:h.264|h.264]] Hi10P profile. Support for this profile will come when an update of [[wikipedia:FFmpeg|FFmpeg]] is applied to [[DVDPlayer]] (XBMC's video player component). There currently is no ETA on when this will be done.
Hi10P (also called "10-bit") is a profile of the [[wikipedia:h.264|h.264]] video codec. It has recently become popular in the anime scene for video encodes. The first stable version with Hi10P support is v12 (Frodo). As of v13 (Gotham), Kodi will automatically use multi-thread (multi-core) software video decoding for Hi10P videos, allowing for better performance on low-end processors.


Due to recent interests in the Hi10P profile, spurred by its somewhat recent addition to [[wikipedia:x264|x264]] (a free software library for encoding video streams into the h.264 format), this page was created to list alternative ways to have Hi10P playback while using XBMC.
== Hardware requirements ==
Hi10P won't work on most ARM or even some Intel ATOM processors. Hi10P can't be hardware decoded (which is to say, no one currently makes hardware decoders for them and no company plans to add Hi10P hardware decoding in the foreseeable future), which is what a lot of low-power devices require for smooth video playback (such as the Raspberry-Pi, Android, ATOM processors, and some AMD APU systems). Thus, Hi10P requires CPU/software decoding.


==Unofficial builds==
*There is an unofficial XBMC Windows build done by forum user bambi73 that contains the newer version of FFmpeg. The latest version can be found '''[http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4IZU49RC here]'''. For more information see the thread at [[forum:106051]].


==External players==
A safe bet would be at least a Core 2 Duo/Celeron G530 processor (or equivalent AMD) or higher.
XBMC can be set up to use an [[external players|external player]] for video playback, while still using XBMC for the interface.


===Windows===
*[http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=43511 External Player Support Thread on the XBMC forums]


==XBMC for Linux==
Some (most?) ARM processors are not powerful enough to software decode it, and no hardware decoders exist for it. As faster ARM CPUs come out this will get better, but don't expect miracles from the average Android box.
[[XBMC for Linux]] can be set to use an external install of ffmpeg (which would support Hi10P).

Hi10P (also called "10-bit") is a profile of the h.264 video codec. It has recently become popular in the anime scene for video encodes. The first stable version with Hi10P support is v12 (Frodo). As of v13 (Gotham), Kodi will automatically use multi-thread (multi-core) software video decoding for Hi10P videos, allowing for better performance on low-end processors.

Hardware requirements

Hi10P won't work on most ARM or even some Intel ATOM processors. Hi10P can't be hardware decoded (which is to say, no one currently makes hardware decoders for them and no company plans to add Hi10P hardware decoding in the foreseeable future), which is what a lot of low-power devices require for smooth video playback (such as the Raspberry-Pi, Android, ATOM processors, and some AMD APU systems). Thus, Hi10P requires CPU/software decoding.


A safe bet would be at least a Core 2 Duo/Celeron G530 processor (or equivalent AMD) or higher.


Some (most?) ARM processors are not powerful enough to software decode it, and no hardware decoders exist for it. As faster ARM CPUs come out this will get better, but don't expect miracles from the average Android box.
