Last Raspberry doesnt have H264 decode hardware, wouldnt be surprised if that becomes a trend. A lot of SBCs only support up to 1080 on h264, 4k requires h265.
Yeah, I read that, though I think the latest Raspberry Pi might be fast enough to decode h264 in software so it might be a non-issue anyway; as long as it is fast enough I think I actually prefer software decoding just because (I think) it's more platform-independent.
I think I get your point though; if the Raspberry Pi is not adding chips for native H264 decoding, set top boxes and other SBCs might drop it as well.
