I am having problems playing 5K h.265 / HEVC Video with a Radeon RX Vega 64 and relatively new system (see below).
For example, in MPC I have the following settings:
View-->Options-->Playback-->Output-->DirectShow Video: Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter)
Lav Filters set to:
Video Settings->Hardware Decoder to Use: DXVA2 (copy-back) and HD and UHD(4K) are checked along with H.264 and HEVC and HEVC10.
However, Active Hardware Accelerator always displays "<none>".
Any ideas on how to ensure that the Radeon decodes HEVC / h.265 5K files? The NVIDIA people seem to have no problems and set their Hardware Decoder to NVIDIA CUVID.
