Alright, just wanted to report back on my adventures with my new rig, in short I am a happy camper now since everything seems to work.
I have to say, I wasn't going the easy way of just following fritschs howto and reinstalling ubuntu server, since I wanted to keep my linux desktop ... so I am now still on my years-old Kodibuntu foundation, upgraded to 18.04.1 Lubuntu base ;-)
- Using the openbox xsession of lubuntu and the respective autostart entries from this howto
- Struggled for days with lirc since it changed a lot compared to my previous setup (I am using a classic MCE remote and official MS USB receiver, plus my Antec case has imon display and IR as well, where I needed to disable the imon IR only and keep the display) before the upgrade to 18.04 -> now all working fine as before, if anyone has similar troubles with lirc feel free to msg me .... I think I've seen it all now ;-)
- 10bit HEVC 4K now working like a charm, thanks a lot fritsch for all your work
- 4K 50/60hz is working, though I could test the GUI only so far since I didn't have any 60hz 4k videos to test. Had to add modelines manually though, since for whatever reason 4K 50/60hz resolutions aren't added automatically in the handshake .... also, howto provided by fritsch
- Fixed EDID working fine as well, no more changing audio devices when kodi is on before handshake is done, again thanks fritsch for the howto on this
Take care,
boba
