Hello all
Only to use madMeasureHDR to Create Dynamic HDR10 Metadata on my office PC it takes a long time with a AMD FX-8350 and GeForce GTS450.
Is a new graficcard sufficent to accelerate this or is a new MB/CPU also required?
I really only use it for this - no movie watching- so I am not sure what it should be... Radeon RX 550,580 or even RX 5700?
Thanks for any hint.
Christian

Yes, you need a GPU with a 10-bit HEVC decoder.
If you are intending on using madVR's tone mapping, you will need a powerful GPU.

A GT 1030 will do if all you want to do is measure your HDR files.

Just wanted to thank everyone involved with this, as I had been banging my head on the desk for a while on this, trying to get the best of HDR/4K with my media collection. I am currently running Plex, as I really do prefer its UI over Kodi, however found I have to use Kodi/DSPlayer to be able to get HDR playback (as the Plex Media Player app will not, and the apps on Firestick, etc will not pass through 7.1, etc and is just slower as I use the host PC as the media PC connected to the TV directly). I tried the latest Kodi, but just does not look nearly as good as it does running this version with DSPlayer/madVR.
With this said, I believe someone commented on this somewhere in this thread, however I did not see a resolution, I noticed that resume playback is broken when using the official Plex app within Kodi. Everything else works perfect, but the resume playback. I have also verified that that is not an issue in the latest versions of Kodi. So what I am looking for it to see if anyone has a solution to this issue, and if not, if there is anyway to get DSPlayer in the latest version of Kodi, that would be fantastic! I would honestly pay someone to do that as well.

If you visit the Plex for Kodi GitHub page, there is an experimental branch that has a fix for the resume point. I can't remember what it is called. I first read about it at the HTPC section of AVS Forums within one of the larger threads there.

No promises, ok?
I'm looking into this.
I'm stating what I'm doing in case someone already tried and can tell me it's a waste of time.
So I forked Aracnoz's git and asked to merge with the actual xbmc.
There are 600 conflicts in total.
490 to go...
To be honest I don't think this is going to work but let's see..
First all the conflicts needs to be solved.
And it needs to compile without errors (this is probably where it will fail).
Finally it has to work.
In a very simplistic view.
So.. again, no promises.
Just wanted to post here because if someone already tried, let me know in advance so I don't waste my time with such a tedious task.
