Linux LibreELEC:
4K, 8bit H264, 8/10bit HEVC and DD, DTS works but HD Audio (DTS-HD, TrueHD) does not work with this LibreELEC with latest 1.66 HDMI 2.0 Firmware
Windows 10:
4K, 8bit H264, 8/10bit HEVC, 3D MVC, DTS-HD, TrueHD works with this KodiSetup-20170321-85da1e3c99-msdk_mvc_wip with latest 1.66 HDMI 2.0 Firmware
HDR is not currently working.

BTW, I have a question.
How good is the upscale quality of Kodi compare to madvr?
For instance, 1080p to 4K because the new TV is mostly 4K.
I know it's a vague question because you can choose many different filters from madvr to do the upscale, thus different results.
But generally speaking, with a moderate setup of $100 CPU & $150 GPU for madvr, is Apollo Lake embed CPU/GPU produce a similar result in term of 1080p->4K upscale?
That looks better. Out of interest does PCM 5.1/7.1 work on either platform - as that would solve the HD Audio issues in Linux (as you can losslessly decode True HD and DTS HD to PCM 5.1/7.1 in Kodi - which is how the Pi series handle HD Audio losslessly for all but 192k/5.1 or 192k/7.1) - though this doesn't help with Atmos/DTS:x
So unless you need Atmos/DTS:x or you need Dolby/DTS Metadata for processing (like DRC) then PCM 5.1/7.1 compatibility means you get lossless HD Audio decoding - so for many, no major real-world limitation?
