That's interesting. If they have really included the patches to 
ffmpeg that enable hardware decoding, this would be the very first 
open source Linux box to offer hardware assisted mpeg4/h.265 decode.

There is nothing out there in the "open source land" that can do 
hardware assisted mpeg4/h.265 decode. Zero, nada, zip.
