"Kodi 19 with hardware acceleration OFF + libvpx from the nightly FFmpeg build fixed all my WebM playback issues. The built-in player was a disaster." –

Unlocking the best performance out of libvpx on the Vera S05 platform requires abandoning slow, multi-pass archival presets in favor of aggressive real-time multi-threading. By pinning the CPU speed modifier to a range of 5–6 and strictly controlling the encoding buffer size, the Vera S05 can reliably deliver crisp, low-latency video streams over volatile network conditions. | Setting | FPS (Vera S05) | Visual

The primary reason you'd use libvpx, especially its VP9 codec, is its excellent compression efficiency. It can achieve significantly smaller file sizes than the ubiquitous H.264 (x264) while maintaining comparable visual quality. For a series like Vera S05 , which you might want to keep in a high-quality archive, VP9 is an ideal choice. You can slash your storage footprint without a noticeable drop in viewing quality.

If your -bufsize is too small, the encoder will struggle to maintain quality during high-motion sequences (like explosions or fast camera pans). Set your buffer to double your target max bitrate. The built-in player was a disaster

If you are using a (or any S05-based device like the Khadas VIM1 or similar Amlogic S905X2 boards) for media encoding or transcoding, you have likely hit a wall: software encoding is slow, but hardware encoding looks bad.

If you are working with libvpx (the library encoding VP8/VP9 video), "Season 5" (S05) likely refers to modern iterations or the maturity of the VP9 codec. VP9 is the standard for high-efficiency web video (YouTube default) before AV1 took over.
