Building Soia — a lightweight, modern cross-platform media player focused on high-performance streaming and high-quality video playback.
- 🎥 Primary inventor of H.265 (HEVC) patents
- ⚙️ Focus on 8K/12K+ video and efficient playback
- 🧠 Experience in ROI-based partial decoding of standard-compliant bitstreams
- 🧩 Background in H.264 MVC optimization
-
Built ROI decoding for HEVC → decode only selected regions while remaining standard-compliant → dynamic region control + hardware decoder compatibility (e.g., MediaCodec) → significantly reduces decoding cost without sacrificing playback correctness
-
Implemented hybrid MVC decoding → hardware decoding (base view) + software decoding (dependent view)
-
Designed hardware/software hybrid pipelines for performance and compatibility
- 🧩 Clean and minimalist UI
- 🌐 WebDAV & DLNA streaming
- 🎬 HDR & Dolby Vision support
- ⚡ Performance-first playback
- 🖥️ Cross-platform support
