Hi, I recently built a new HTPC for running Kodi. I've installed Windows and Linux in a dual-boot config but I'm unfortunately having issues on both OSes. This thread is for the Linux issue, which is different from the Windows one
The main problem I'm having on Linux with Kodi right now is that the 10-bit HEVC files I have only play the audio stream, not the video. I did some reading before building this machine and based onĀ http://kodi.wiki/view/supported_hardware#Desktop the hardware should support decoding this video. I tested the files in VLC to check and the decoding of both video and audio worked fine. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the 10-bit HEVC video decoding working?
Extra info that may be useful:

- Asus B250G motherboard
- Kabylake Celeron G3930 (2.9ghz, 2 cores, HD 610 graphics)
- 2 x 4gb of DDR2400 RAM
- 64gb M.2 SSD for OSes
- 5 SATA HDD drives for media
- Windows 10 Home and Kubuntu 17.10, both installed UEFI mode
- Hooked up to an oldish Samsung series 3000 720p HDTV via HDMI but both Windows and Linux drive the TV at 1368x768 by default rather than the 1280x720 the old device I was using did...
