Hardware: Sony KD-55XD (MediaTek MT5890 with Dual-Core ARM Cortex A7)
TS (1080i H.264 via MediaCodec, AC3 via RAW-PT) playback via USB :
– Kodi Krypton Beta 6: ~16%
– SPMC 16.5.0 (Jarvis): ~8%
– Video (native Sony/Google app): 0-1%
(CPU usage has been measured via adb shell top command)
CPU load on Krypton is pretty high, given the fact that H.264 is hardware decoded and deinterlaced and AC3 is bitstreamed.
