Only player that plays x265 smoothly on iPad Air 1 – CnX Player - Play & Cast Review

The only player that plays hevc files smoothly. There are caveats which can be fixed so please take this as constructive criticism. Firstly 10bit hevc files don't play. I'll increase one star once the support is there, which I read will come soon. Second the UI is unintuitive. To try to delete a video, pressing the edit button and then showing the option to delete is something that took me a few minutes to figure out. A very simple alternative is just allow multi select/ edit mode to come up when a video is long pressed where deletes can happen. Even the progress window does not close on its own once the deletes are complete. IMO the UI needs a lot of polishing. Good to have features: 1) Picture in picture support would be great to have 2) If this player can support UPnP, this would be the perfect alternative to infuse.1 A question to the devs: I'm curious. Does the 8bit hevc play using hardware or software decoder on the A7 chip? A small indicator when playing the video would be nice.
