Awesome. Seems like the only reasonable way to playback 4K and HEVC video.
Are you planning on doing this at a high level (DXVA2)? Or using more low level API’s like nVidia’s CUVID, Intel’s QuickSync, etc?
Great! BSD licensed. Royalty Free. Google backed. What’s not to like.
Happy to hear this is still being considered. Yes it is LGPL licensed, but unless you can somehow absorb the costs of licensing/including a multi-codec decoder from CoreCodec or MainConcept/DivX, this seems like the best option. Perhaps turn it into a plugin that is not included with the UE4 default distribution but has to be downloaded separately by developers. That way there shouldn’t be a need for a single line of LGPL code/headers/etc in the UE4 mainline.
