Thanks again for responding. I do understand "Kodi doesn't have a mechanism to prioritize HDR formats." That's why my original post thanked you for your consideration of it as a request. Is there any reason such a mechanism couldn't be added? It would also help people who want Kodi to prioritize HDR 10+ over DoVi. As for why some occasional hybrid videos containing DoVi instead default to HDR 10/10+ on Kodi, I won't be able to post a log until I next encounter it again. I have logging disabled trying to avoid the TV's eMMC getting worn out prematurely since I tend to keep a TV for a very long time before replacing it. Anyway, thanks again for your time and consideration.

Thank you. I'll give this build a go. I believe there are more Sony TV users out their than one might expect. I am one of 4 I know of. We bought them because at the time they offered all the best features and a clean running Android TV without needing any extra hardware. Other than this issue that none could foresee, the TVs still look and work great. I'd rather not be buying a new TV every few years and generate more e-waste because the manufacturer no longer supports it.

Understood. I guess it's just one of those things where items become defunct and progress moves forward.

I've been meaning to try fixing fritsch's work, it should definitely be possible through an advanced setting.

I just did a quick test and it works great. My son can now watch his HDR content without having to turn off the HDR on the TV and then have to turn it back on when he plays PS5.
Very much appreciated that you took the time to create the build and post it!
