1 My skylake (i3-6100U) system drops frames when watching x265 movies (in mpv
2 and kodi), with all cores at 100% CPU. I've re-run through
3 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel and tried changing from the intel driver
4 to modsetting, and it appears to use less CPU for x264 at least. Still
5 maxed out for x265 so I cant tell if there's a difference for that.
6
7 I'm going through the USE flags for kodi, mpv and ffmpeg, which flags are
8 the most important? Is there some way to run a simple movie playback
9 benchmark to assess the impact of changes?
