You can start to implement VAAPI via EGL, then you get the correct colors without any RGB stretching. Concentrage your lack of patience into learning some C++ to contribute.

- I've followed the FP for single install with OE (I have the seabios)

Which road should I follow to start again as a OE box ?
- Booting with the reset plug pushed doesn't do anything
- Ctrl ALT F2 gives me an error, says I should boot with ctrl, but not better.
Thanks

Does this result in Vaapi hardware acceleration or something else like DVXA or ...??... Could you check if you don't mind? Just look under the acceleration tab in video playback expert settings.
I have Kodi running on 3 very different computers... A PC, a Mac, and a Chromebox... but the OpenElec using Vaapi hardware acceleration is giving me problems I would rather not have.
edit - Never heard of RGB FIX option.... I do rely on the the Broadcast RGB Full flag.

If you already have followed the standalone configuration instructions, all you should need to do is insert a USB drive with your custom OE image loaded onto it and boot. You should get a menu asking you whether to boot from USB or SATA.

Isn't DXVA some Windows thingie? I use Vaapi and everything plays fine. Can you point me to a troublesome vc1 file?
The RGB FIX is equivalent to the Broadcast RGB Full flag when using OE. But since Kodibuntu is a full blown distro, the xrandr stuff needs to run as an display manager init script. That way it works both when booting into Kodi or the Desktop.
