You would still have the issue of getting the HDR metadata to madVR and likely slower rendering performance with Kodi's video decoders compared to the madVR integration possible with D3D11 Native in LAV Filters.

If anybody wants to join the bounty, feel free. Since for the moment it's only from me, I consider it "honour bound", if anybody else wanted to join, we'd have to devise some method for it. Any dev interested present yourself here and state your intentions.
Maybe merging the changes from 17.6 to 18.2 is not *too* complicated, I don't know.

Edit: to avoid misunderstandings, the build would have to be publicly available for everybody to download.

To be honest I am in no rush to upgrade, I understand the Netflix side, but that plays fine with the Windows 10 app for me and the addon I tried a while back was nothing to get excited about,  so personally I cannot see the need even if there was someone kind enough to step up, as it may be a work in vain due to any issues, and maybe being worse than we currently have.
