No not for Gotham v13.
The ffmpeg library we rely on for this type of thing was just bumped to 2.2.1 in our Master code branch, so once Gotham has gone to final release stage the developement nightlies for next version of Helix 14.0 will include HEVC software decoding and the Alphas which follow.

Current nightly builds from XBMC.org are still using the Gotham branch, but will soon switch to the master code branch.

I'm can't be 100% but I believe multithreaded support wasn't in the ffmpeg library update but I think it is on the way, may also already be in but if not then it should be soon, that's if I've correctly understood the chatter between the devs who worked on ffmpeg update.

Considering only about 5 people have and can afford 4k screens, this is pretty pointless at the moment, isn't it? (no doubt the morons that run anime groups have a hard-on over this, as it means most people wont be able to play their encodes again.... *sigh*).
