You’ve gotta mean hardware. There is no way that arm chip could do h265 at any useful speed. The amlogic in the c2 can do hardware h265 (not hdr) and it works with Kodi. I use one this way and have been overall pleased with it though especially since I didn’t buy the board for this in the first place. It was a repurpose. I would only get something with 10 bit these days if media is the primary concern.
