I have an Asrock J4205 running Ubuntu 18 on a sony 4k hdr tv.
I’m trying to run some 4k iso on kodi but it doesn’t enable hdr. Kodi has support for hdr, right?
Do I need to enable something on Kodi?
Thanks!
I was afraid on that.
I asked because I found some topics about using HDR on kodi and some users affirming that they got Kodi with HDR and I was wondering how they test it.
Other question, do Kodi sends the signal using 10 bits? How can I test it?
And finally, is there a way to auto switch the resolution between 1080p and 2160p? I’ve enabled Adjust refresh rate with no success.
Thanks for all!
Kodi supports HDR on non-Intel platforms - such as the nVidia Shield running Android TV, and AMLogic S905X and S912 running LibreElec (and possibly also CoreElec) which are cut-down Linux builds optimised for Linux Kodi. These will output 10 or 12-bit video and properly flag Rec 2020 colour gamut and an HDR10 EOTF and metadata. The Apple TV 4K running MrMC (a fork of Kodi Krypton) also handles HDR I think.
There are some test images (Quants2D?) that @wesk05 talks about in some of his posts that will show an 8-bit or lower path vs a 10-bit or 12-bit path.
AIUI the only route to HDR on Intel platforms is using Windows with external players and Windows Kodi rather than the internal player, and using either higher-end Intel GPUs or separate GPU cards? It's still pretty involved on the x86 platform - and AIUI current Linux GPU drivers on the Intel platform aren't HDR-friendly (and some are limited to 8-bit at 2160p)
