I want to buy or build a Linux system for Kodi that can do 4k playback with no issue and can also support HDR. My Question is, is this even possible or am I chasing a unicorn?
Thanks, UbuntuUser

My Question is, is this even possible or am I chasing a unicorn?I am not sure about HDR, but my AMD Ryzen 2400G plays 4k 10 bit HEVC without issue. I am dual booted with Kubuntu and Libreelec and both work great.

Kodi 18 has tonemapping support, which allows us to play 4K HDR and output adjusted colors as SDR.

Nvidia always does it's own thing and should be avoided for kodi, specially with v19, where we'll drop vdpau support(deprecated and not supported by nvidia anymore)
