Despite hardware capability of running 60fps video, playback frame rate is limited to 30 fps and bit rate limited to 20Mbps (constant or variable up to) to support smooth gapless video. Videos playing at 60fps will be skipped during the playback. Video with higher than 20Mbps might have blinking issue during videos transition Variable FPS is not supported There is also further limitation for gapless playback Audio should have same FPS and duration as video

Raspberry Pi and NEC CM
Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi 5 has hardware accelleration only for HEVC (H.265) codec. H.264 codec is decoded only on CPU and can cause device overheating 🔥.
There is no H.264 hardware decoding (or encoding) license to acquire for the Raspberry Pi 5, as the Pi 5 does not include dedicated hardware video decoding/encoding blocks for H.264. Unlike the Raspberry Pi 4 and earlier models, the Raspberry Pi 5 relies entirely on software (CPU) decoding for H.264 video.
For UHD content always use HEVC-encoded videos. HEVC codec is highly recommended (and almost mandatory) for any other video playback as well.
