:) libde265 and the openHEVC-based decoder in libavcodec are currently at about the same development status with comparable performance, reaching around 50fps @ 4K. With libde265, the applications or plugins depend on a smaller library which is more modular. We are concentrating on streaming applications and want to support additional features that are not possible with a catch-all API, like dynamic switching between sub-streams with different fps. Work on a complementing encoder is currently starting. We have ARM NEON support in the queue and are evaluating whether CUDA support makes sense. Applications/plugins using libde265 are a GStreamer 0.10/1.0 plugin [1], a HEVC/H.265 decoder plugin for VLC 2.x [2] [3] and DirectShow filters for Windows [4].
