4K VP9, H.265 and H.264 Video Playback in Amlogic S912 M12N TV Box August 15th, 2016cnxsoftLeave a commentGo to comments
I’ve received my first Amlogic S912 TV box with MXQ Plus M12N TV box this week-end, and I’ve decided to start testing by showing the media capabilities of the platform that is supposed to support 4K VP9 up to 60Hz, 4K 10-bit H.265 up to 60Hz and 4K H.264 up to 30 Hz.
Amlogic_S912_TV_Box_4K_VP9
I connected the device to Onkyo TX-NR636 A/V recevier itself connected to LG 42UB820T 4K UHD TV, set video output to 2160p @ 60Hz, and played several 4K video samples from a USB hard drive using the pre-installed version of Kodi 16.1:

Software decode since the VPU does not support 10-bit h.264 The results are pretty good as the two main “failures” were expected since Amlogic S912 video processing unit (aka hardware video decoder) does not support 10-bit H.264 nor 4K H.264 @ 60 Hz. The Curvature of Earth video was watchable, but I think I’ve seen it play more smoothly on other hardware platforms. I initially started to play over SAMBA, but the Fast Ethernet network performance is not always good enough to play the videos from a SAMBA share, so I reverted to using a USB hard drive.
I’ve also included two extra 720p and 1080p 10-bit H.264 (hi10p) video to check whether the 8 cores would be fast enough for software decoding:
[Commie] Steins;Gate – NCED [BD 720p AAC] [10bit] [C706859E].mkv – OK with video, audio, and subtitles [1080p][16_REF_L5.1][mp3_2.0]Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu BD OP.mkv – Subtitles OK, audio may cut from time to time, and video is playing but a bit choppy, and with artifacts at times. So the processor is not quite fast enough to play 1080p 10-bit H.264 videos despite all eight cores being used at the time of playback.
You can watch all videos above being played in M12N TV box, and download them from comments @ Where to get Video & Audio samples.
I also tested HDMI audio pass-through, but only Dolby and DTS options are available in that version of Kodi, with DTS-HD and TrueHD options missing, and Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 sometimes playing with audio cut. So that’s yet another TV box shipped without proper audio support. Automatic frame rate switching is not supported either.
Please also note that my sample was sent directly from Shenzhen Shiningworth, the manufacturer of the device, and I’ve been told the launcher will be different on their customers hardware such as ENYBOX X2 or Acemax M12N, with the latter currently being sold on GearBest for $69.99.

随着MXQ开始在各大电商网站开始销售，M12N, MXQ Plus
S912, or ENYBOX X2等变种也会随之滚滚而来。请各位别急，先看看各类评测，了解
Firmware对音频和视频的支持及优化能做到哪一步再说，而且现在价格也是比较高，等两三个月下手不迟。
基于S912基本满足目前的各类最新技术，性能也足够了，如果能有一款盒子有3GB内存
，1000M有线网支持，Freaktab 有firmware开发者，最后最重要的是支持音频
Passthrough, 则我的老Minix X7则可退休了。

救驾，救驾！铲屎的Weidong死哪去了？兔子造反了，快来救朕！
老实说并不Care那些4K的噱头，也许过5年4K比较实用，但我现在除非站在电视机前面
30厘米以内认真比较，否则真是看不出来。
相比之下，我作为一个正常人更需要一个流畅稳定的硬件软件组合。你们GearBest卖的那些山寨破烂，很多是纸面上是可以硬解4K，可是实际上呢？百分之七八十Wifi烂得像泡屎，传送720P都够呛；有线也就勉强够Stream 1080P。你们那些烂货有几个支持Wifi 4K Stream的？就算硬件支持了（这些东西一般价格不便宜，够买Fire了）。软件就更别提了，前三个月还能用用，过了几个月按个遥控都Lag半天，动不动就要拔电重启才
能继续使用。
我也入了一个 速度不错 不用折腾 比较满意
Nexus player更便宜些，硬件稍逊，但是体验实在是一流，一点不差，尤其WiFi及其流畅。
ATV 4 做工都很好，WiFi也牛，可惜免费在线视频内容太少，YouTube体验绝对不如
Nexus player。4K内容只能downgraded播放。
杂牌盒子也有好的，但是看运气了。
BTW ,如果要替代那些Bluetooth遥控器，需要Harmony Home Control，就是有一个
Blaster盒子的那种。光有遥控器的版本只能替代红外遥控器，无法控制蓝牙
