	Hi10P (also called "10-bit") is a profile of the [[wikipedia:h.264\|h.264]] video codec. It has recently (last couple of years) become popular in the anime scene for video encodes. Kodi supports Hi10P playback as of v12 "Frodo" and later. It can have issues on some older or weaker hardware. While it's totally possible to avoid Hi10P files, even for current shows, if you're putting together your HTPC for the first time then you might as well prepare for it.
