HW accelerated .wmv files?

[Meemo]

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
Android 4.1.2
BSplayer (free) 1.16.169

WMV HD files decode via SW only

I find BSplayer to be the best app by far for playing video over LAN but have been experiencing exactly the same issue as the other members in this thread.
I was wondering whether (as there doesn't seem to be a fix) a faster tablet might be able to perform SW decoding on WMV files without the performance issues (slow frame rate, out of sync audio).
I am willing to upgrade to either an Asus Memo Pad 7 or a Nexus 7 if it will solve this problem and allow me to use BSplayer flawlessly but don't want to waste money on new hardware if the issue will remain.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A fix would be perfect!

P.S. Does this problem exist on the paid version of BSplayer?
