Android-x86 and 8k video

[Tian-Jian Wu]

From this post (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/3cLTOx3TL40) I know android-x86 is able to support gtx 1080ti with kernel 4.14.  

The 3d benchmark app is running well.

Does anyone ever try 8k h.264 video playback on Android-x86 and gtx-1080ti before??

Hello,

It's not that stable for 1080ti, I even tried 4.18 kernel but I ended up using my Intel graphics card by the way for Android x86 (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/FjZa434cTpk). 

It is much better to use emulator for 1080ti in my case, you can try this. https://mega.nz/#!aF4F2AwR!vhYpe15UPb9bRP6hbK0OEEU53nRiHfQmZE-G7R0vQTs

I don't have problems with video playback but I haven't tried 8k. Only way to find out is for you to try. :)

Regards,

Christian

I've tried to play 8k(7680*3840) HEVC encoded video on Android-x86 7.1-r2 and Phoenix OS v3.0.3(based on Android 7.1) with VLC Player, the screen freeze. My CPU is Intel Core i5-7400 and my graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. I am pretty sure the hardware is able to decode 8k video. Because with the same hardware, I play the same 8K video on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 with VLC player smoothly.

 

From NVIDIA website (https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk#NVDECFeatures), we know Pascal cards support up to 8192*8192 resolution video decoding acceleration. From Nouveau feature matrix (https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/), we know the progress of video decoding acceleration on NV130 family (https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/#NV130) is TODO. Does it mean that it is not possible to decode 8K video with NVIDIA GPU card unless someone makes the progress to DONE? Is there any possibility that I could enable Pascal cards to decode 8K video with NVIDIA official driver?
