What codec are they encoded in and what bit depth? (There aren't that many high quality 2160p sources around yet for playback in Kodi...)
x264 and x265 with 8 bit.
Grr. Pedant in me strikes. x264 and x265 aren't codecs, they are specific encoders (i.e. bits of software that encode).
H264 and H265 are the codecs - x264 will generate H264 (and is very well regarded), x265 will generate H265 (don't know how efficient or high quality x265 is as it is early days for H265 encoders). But other encoders will also produce H264 and H265 code content.
