I would be really surprised if they were handling video compression on the APE computer. That is typically handled by the MCU. This may well be a difference between MCU1 and MCU2.

Firmware 2019.16 features

So all we need now is to add this to the new chromium browser, and use a WiFi enabled usb stick. Connect the car to the stick, and view the videos in the car.
I know this information will be useless after 2019.16.x goes out to the majority of vehicles, but do we have average roll-out schedules from previous firmware versions?

You mean 2019.16.x. There is no 2019.12.16.x
Every update deployment is different. Just because things happened one way with a previous update roll out doesn't mean the same thing will happen the next time. I've seen new versions hit a majority of the fleet in less than 48 hours time since initial release but there have also been cases where an update takes weeks to get to at least 50% of the fleet.

I've read that it's a region specific update for China. Supposedly enables NoA for Chinese drivers.

I wish i learned to wait better growing up lol. I hate it!
Maybe Tesla's chromium browser already has the capability. Even so, I doubt Tesla's browser allows extensions too be installed.
I'm pretty new to this, so what's special about Thursday or a number of days delayed in general?

The Intel Apollo Lake SoC that is used in the MCU in the Model 3 has hardware acceleration for H.265 encoding, so it shouldn't be an issue on either HW2 or HW3.

Yes, I do, and lots of others, according to TeslaFi. Still saves in H264 on the HW2.5.
I'm pretty sure that the encoding is all done in the APE not the MCU... (They specifically called out that HW3 has a video encoder section, and I can't imagine that being of any value for the NN.) How many video streams can the Apollo Lake SoC handle at the same time? 1? 3? 8?

It's possible, but the Tegra X2 SoCs that are used on the HW2.5 APE also support H.265 encoding acceleration.
That depends a lot on the encoding parameters.

I tried that one, and it will work if you're just trying to play a single HEVC video, but it does not enable HEVC playback everywhere in Chrome (at least, it didn't seem to when I tried it).
That will matter for apps like TeslaCam Video Player that add more functionality than "play back one HEVC video at a time", which with the way video files are saved currently, is super helpful.
I'm sure it will all be working soon - I just wanted to throw out a heads up in case someone couldn't get videos to play on their computer, and was trying to figure out why it wasn't working.

My S got the 1019.16 update last Friday. I didn't drive the car until yesterday, but the new car graphics are a huge improvement. I especially like the brake lights reflecting off the ground when the car is up close.
