Is it possible this could ever work with a true Limited RGB output signal? I assume, at least as far as output from the driver goes, it's a matter of setting the correct flag (which I know is possible, because it's always done that in prior versions of Kodi). I know that true Component processing/output isn't going to be an option (although I think it is via Windows).
Currently, the options seem to be to either run Full and expand limited range via Kodi, or run Full and force the television into Limited mode (the best option if you can do it).
Alas, my Pioneer Kuro works fine via auto signal detection, but forcing full/limited range is not an option. There IS a method to force an input signal, but stupidly it's combined with color space - I can pick Component 4:4:4, Component 4:2:2, RGB Limited or RGB Full. The problem is, when you force a particular color format (component or RGB) it messes up any other connected devices using the other system. Like, my cable box always outputs Component, and it also goes through my amp, so if I force the TV into RGB Limited it makes the cable box's picture purple. And if I force component, all RGB devices go green.
Dithering does indeed help clear up the banding, but it's not as perfect as not messing with it in the first place.

It's possible if vaapi gets rewritten.

Regardless of hardware, is this needed for livetv to show correctly in kodi?

Hä? Did you really think everybody in this thread prefers to watch "shitty looking video" and we are so proud of it? :-)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

wsnipex is building them - which should happen automatically at night.

I know this as general rule but you can check yourself that latest build of all Kodi packages is from 2015-09-22 (first with pvr-addons included).

Again, great work being done. I've been running the build from 23/09/15 on my machine for the past few days and it's been great. I've just ordered a Braswell Intel NUC and will replace my aging Sandy Bridge i5 system.
