For the price a S905X will usually handle 95% of possible Kodi requirements.
Especially if you run LibreELEC or OSMC Kodi Krypton - an OS for Kodi to run on without the Android compromises and restrictions. HDR10 support is an evolving process with S905X OSMC / LibreELEC - good enough to play test clips.
4K HDR frankly is a bunch of marketing fluffy and technobabble bullshit if you cannot get properly encoded 4K HDR content in the first place.
Doing HDR right means using 4K HDR Netflix & Amazon Video DRM streaming platforms like the NVIDIA Shield / HDR Smart TV's or a UHD player.
People seem willing to accept all sorts of reliability, usability and OS issues just so they can have that all important HDR label.
Its all a bit of a laugh really
A dirt cheap - ethernet only - MECOOL, is an easy way to see what LibreELEC or even Android TV on a 4K HDR capable platform is all about. All you really need is a Wireless remote with a USB receiver dongle, if you want snappy OS responsiveness.
