Hi clever people.
I am now feeling exceptionally defeated, I have a new 4k tv with HDR support and am streaming with a Odroid C2 and a MiniX U2. I am running the newest LE build on both devices and am getting a washed out color when viewing any 4k content I have put on my PC. (PC is serving the content to Kodi)
I tried plugging the PC directly into the the TV and played a few different movies via VLC player. This worked quite well with colour representation but the moment I tried Kodi it washes out the colours. (Kodi via windows PC does the same.
I had a MiniX U9 briefly, it, I am positive was working correctly with colours looking as they should but the unit decided to pack up on day two so I needed to send it back.
What I find strange is that the U2 and C2 should at the very least display the colours as intended as all components through the system are HDMI 2.0 with new HDMI cables as well. (Tried swapping cables as well to try and eliminate as many probable causes as possible.
When looking at the same move in normal HD res (1920x1080p) the colours are amazing and image quality is as you would expect on a high end TV but the same cannot be said for the 4k variants playing over the exact same system and setups.
I played a few YouTube 4k clips ( I realise these are quite compressed, but for the sake of thoroughness) and they all played perfectly with the TV showing 4k resolution.
As I said I am feeling defeated and would really appreciate any help.
I do apologize if this has been covered. I tried searching for quite a few days now and all the things I can find don't really relate to my problem or are way past my skill set in helping me resolve this.
