This is a possibility, I'll try it - it's been quite frustrating, almost 'plasticky' looking people at times.

Update: I've found an option in my ATI / AMD drivers which has finally fixed peoples faces looking far over saturated. I actually thought I'd fiddled with this before but it's fixed now.
There's a flesh tony option and a color vibrance option - both of which were screwing peoples faces up.
Dr Christian in Supersize vs SuperSkinny and Picard in TNG were both looking very very red / flushed -it was like it was filmed on an IR camera or some weird crap.
Dunno about the 'movement' in high speed scenes, but at least my colours aren't over-saturated anymore.

What is the status with 4K hardware decode for Nvidia? I noticed the VDPAU support mainlined earlier this month and I assume Nvidia Binary driver support wont be far behind (Could be entirely wrong on that).
Have access to the Astra2 4K Demo sat channel and TVHeadend seems happy with it but Kodi is not (VLC3 nightly kinda plays it).

I have a 960 (Didn't have the patience to wait) but it seems Linux support isn't ready yet. Using MPC HC I can actually decode the Astra UHD test channel without any dropped frames on my windows PC (Using CPU; a lot of it).

Why are you telling him to try some codec pack that only works on Windows and not XBMC/Kodi? Davilla used to be our main Mac, iOS, and Android developer, BTW. I don't think he cares much about Windows. Either way, that's a nearly two year old comment, and it was about practical hardware requirements and not about if software decoding was possible or not. Kodi already has software decoding support in v14.
