I used JDownloader 2 to extract the 2160p HDR stream and demux it into a file. When I try to play the file in Kodi, on a variety of platforms, Windows 64-bit , AFTV 4K (Android ARM), Vero 4K+ (OSMC), HDR mode is not triggered.

When I play it in MPC-HC, I can get HDR mode.

Here is the MediaInfo:

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
For windows, the only option currently is to try one of the 2 forked versions of Kodi that have HDR implemented.  One uses window api and the other proprietary graphics vendor api.

What about for Android or OSMC? I can play HEVC files that trigger HDR on those platforms.

Does Kodi not support VP9.2 for HDR?
