And not all codecs are supported for HW decoding. The x264 codec is probably best to test whether it can work at all.
Maybe I should mention, that I'm not talking about streaming, I'm talking about local video files.
I generally use Handbreak to encode my videos using the x264 codec.
And as I said, they play on the PP if the resultion is low enough.
I have a Volla Phone (Ubuntu Touch) as a daily driver, and even there the videos in high resolution I encoded play flawlessly, even with the default player. I know, it's an android-based phone and not really comparable, but yet AFAIK it doesn't use hardware acceleration (it also becomes warm). That leeds me to the assumption, that just a little bit more power might be sufficient.
I can't imagine that no one with a PPP has tried to play some videos...?
