Thanks for confirming.
I guess that includes video codecs like x264 and x265?

That was a major point of discontent for me with the Pinebook; apparently hardware accelarated playback was possible (to some extent), but there was no functioning Linux driver for it.
So watching any kind of video (youtube or local files) was somewhere between impossible and buggy.
