Kodi/XBMC into E2 boxes have hardware accelerated video via OpenGLES feature.Hi,
Great to learn that Kodi is now available for E2 boxes but I have one question : does it have hardware video acceleration ? (I mean the equivalent of DXVA, vdpau, va-api, so we can watch smoothly)
Thank you in advance
Thank you for your answer
But aren't you talking about the rendering ? (or is video decoding is also via OpenGLES ?)

Kodi use the standard mediaplayer anyway, does this answer the question?
