We're getting claims that Vero 4K / 4K + can't do 'proper' 10-bit quite a bit now.(2018-08-08, 14:00)Mount81 Wrote: It would be informal and clarifying to read more specific and concrete regarding the Amlogic vs proper 10bit output issue. The info fragment I'we found so far were very contradictious and mind-scramblingly evading or mystifying oppositely any assurance. I sent two units out to two BayLibre developers that are involved in mainlining efforts, so they should have the capacity to test. (Just to clarify): we're not of the opinion that there is an issue after extensive testing.

With Netflix, the maxFALL/CLL changes with scene. It is possible that this is happening because the bitstream may be actually Dolby Vision which is being output as HDR10 for non-Dolby Vision displays. Amazon HDR shows seem to have static maxFALL/CLL.

There are a tons of Quants2D test files there, so can you tell which one did you use? I will post then on another Forum Thread dedicated to Amlogic devices used with CE and LE OS and see if I can find some users to test it.

Will know in couple of days when it arrives.(2018-08-08, 04:11)rexian Wrote: Does anyone know if HDR is supported on Fire TV 3 (4k) for HDR10 MKVs with Kodi? Just got one after hearing refresh rate issue has been fixed (and this is a decent hardware for $35). Thanks!It very likely does HDR10 with Kodi. Untested personally tho. No idea if auto refresh switching is working or not.

I primarily check with the 96-512 patterns. If you are testing with HDR10 test patterns, it may be good to stick with test patterns lower than 640.

Thanks!With the latest firmware, refresh rate and resolution switching works in Kodi 18 Beta builds and also MrMC. Refresh rate switching also works in Amazon Prime, but not in Netflix. It looks like there are color space issues. 10-bit output is always associated with BT.2020.

The S905 doesn't have HDR10 compatibility (so won't insert HDR10 metadata into the HDMI output) - and AIUI is limited to an 8-bit output path (though it can decode 10-bit) I don't know if it includes HDR->SDR conversion (to allow playback of 10-bit HDR as 8-bit SDR with correct tone mapping to avoid washed out pictures) TL;DR - C2 is not HDR compatible, but it's very good as an SDR playback device. (Pity Hardkernel haven't come up with an S905X board) RE: 4K HDR10 - State of Play thread - important media player limitations. - rexian - 2018-08-15 (2018-08-09, 23:08)rexian Wrote:I can confirm that Kodi 17.6 on Fire TV 3 (w/ latest update) plays HDR 10 videos on an LG OLED. I have tried several samples from LG, Sony and Samsung and the HDR indicator on the TV lit up every time. For some samples the playback wasn't very smooth... possibly due to high bitrate and the wifi signal being blocked by the TV... having to buy another dongle for ethernet is a stupid product decision but Kodi behaved well for the most part. Only issue I saw was that even for 23 or 24Hz videos, the display was constantly 59/60Hz and there was no option to change it to 23 / 24Hz in Settings. Will try Leia later and see if this is still a problem.(2018-08-09, 08:43)wesk05 Wrote:Can't wait for it to arrive(2018-08-08, 04:11)rexian Wrote: Does anyone know if HDR is supported on Fire TV 3 (4k) for HDR10 MKVs with Kodi?

RE: 4K HDR10 - State of Play thread - important media player limitations. - noggin - 2018-08-15 Not sure if this is of interest - but Netflix have released some of their test content in various formats here https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/engineers-making-movies-aka-open-source-test-content-f21363ea3781 http://download.opencontent.netflix.com/?prefix=TechblogAssets/Sparks/encodes/ Has DV, HDR10 and SDR encodes. The DV may be of interest as it is presumably single-stream not dual-stream? Interestingly it's also 59.94p - I'm not aware of Netflix releasing content at frame rates >29.97Hz on their main platform. Sparks Media Info : DV (1.0, dvhe.stn, BL+RPU - Base Level + Reference Processing Unit) dvhe = Dolby Vision HEVC, stn s = single layer, t = 10 bit, n = not compatible with other dynamic range standards (i.e. not HDR10 or SDR compatible - I guess partially because this is single layer?)

Set this to ON and Kodi debug started showing frame rate around 23/24. Wonder why the default is off. I did notice a micro-stutter every few seconds with this option... as if there was a 24 -> 60 pull down of some sort. Even the audio would cut off for a quarter second... will try removing 17.6 and installing Leia this weekend(2018-08-15, 00:21)rexian Wrote:You can force it in advancedsettings.xml.
