I am moving Odroid N2 from a very convoluted HTPC setup that was capable of playing 4K HDR10 every now and then, wont say effortlessly.
I have high expectations from N2 after reading all the comments on this thread. The one thing I was not able to find in here was if anyone is using skins/interfaces with Kodi? I used to skin the hell out of my Kodi on my HTPC. I have brought a 128GB eMMc module, and was wondering if i can use the Aeon MQ 8 skin/interface? Also, is there any limitations with N2 if I am going to install Kodi add on plugin's? Does everything work just the way it should work on a windows based HTPC?

I received my Odroid N2. I have just completed the setup, and right after that, I fired up a 4K movie in HDR10 format. The movie started playing in HDR10, but after I stopped playing it, the HDR mode won't turn off to standard picture. Now not only the CoreElec UI, but even a standard non-4K movie is saturated, as the picture has not switched HDR off to regular standard mode.
What do i need to do?
Also another question, what resolution do you suggest I should keep in CoreElec? I have a 85" 4K TV and a 4K receiver.

Does the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 etc support 4k 10bit HEVC HDR decoding and smooth playback
or do I still need to buy a nvidia/amd gpu?
And what is the cheapest gpu recommended from nvidia/amd that can decode 4k 10bit HEVC HDR?
You should add the recommendation of the cheapest gpu model for nvidia and AMD on the front page..

You want the Nvidia GT 1030. It has better drivers for HDR10 video support than AMD and is cheap and capable.

Yes it can, but the resulting output can sometimes use the wrong color space (Rec.709) because of the buggy AMD video drivers. Nvidia is more reliable by comparison.
