Are there any plans to support vdpau feature set D in XBMC so that it can decode 4k videos via vdpau?

You should buy a DEV a GT520 card and a screen capable of displaying 4K. I think this feature would be implemented very quickly.

And some 4k content worth watching. That may prove the sticking point!

Well there is durian open movie project...

I just tested 4k DCI 2160p video on my GT630 on Linux on xbcm Gotham. Sitll all software decoding, any plans to add 4k/vdpau to xbmc?

XBMC does not limit the size. We query vdpau for max width/height. Afaik GT630 is only feature set C and according to this wiki page you need D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Pure...ture_Set_C

According to that wiki page, 630 has D, however (vdpauinfo):

Code:

Decoder capabilities:

name               level macbs width height
-------------------------------------------
MPEG1                 0  8192  2048  2048
MPEG2_SIMPLE          3  8192  2048  2048
MPEG2_MAIN            3  8192  2048  2048
H264_MAIN            41  8192  2048  2048
H264_HIGH            41  8192  2048  2048
VC1_SIMPLE            1  8190  2048  2048
VC1_MAIN              2  8190  2048  2048
VC1_ADVANCED          4  8190  2048  2048
MPEG4_PART2_SP        3  8192  2048  2048
MPEG4_PART2_ASP       5  8192  2048  2048
DIVX4_QMOBILE         0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX4_MOBILE          0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX4_HOME_THEATER    0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX4_HD_1080P        0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX5_QMOBILE         0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX5_MOBILE          0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX5_HOME_THEATER    0  8192  2048  2048
DIVX5_HD_1080P        0  8192  2048  2048

So it seems 2048x2048 is max (if I understand it correctly)

There are 3 different 630s. You seem to have the 40nm GF108 version, which has feature set C.

Do you know any gpu that supports h265? 4k DCI/15 Mbps and h265 seems to be too much for my core i7. Strange.

[nickr]

There was an article on phoronix which said nvidia had support on some of their newer cards. Sorry I can't find it right now. Is Maxwell a recent nvidia chipset?

None yet. Latest are first-generation Maxwell PureVideo core which only support "Feature Set E", .a.k.a. VDPAU Feature Set E.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo

They say that the second-generation Maxwell PureVideo core will support "Feature Set G" which will add HEVC / H.265 support
