Scanning anime into the library

Add-ons

Hi10P

Some notes about Hi10P, an h.264 profile that is popular for many anime release groups. This will eventually have some more hardware recommendations as well. While it's totally possible to avoid Hi10P files, even for current shows, if you're putting together your HPTC for the first time then you might as well prepare for it.

Hi10P (also called "10-bit") is a profile of the h.264 video codec. It has recently (last couple of years) become popular in the anime scene for video encodes. XBMC supports Hi10P playback as of v12 "Frodo".

Hardware requirements

Hi10P won't work on ARM or even Intel ATOM processors (maybe one day, but none of the current ones in 2013 can do it). Hi10P can't be hardware decoded (which is to say, no one makes hardware decoders for them and no company plans to add Hi10P hardware decoding in the foreseeable future), which is what Raspberry-Pi, Android, ATOM processors, and some AMD APU systems require for smooth playback of demanding video (Hi10P is very demanding). 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.
