Hi all,

4k / HDR / HEVC in Windows?

First, thank you for all of the incredible work on this addon.  My wife is so excited that she no longer has to browse a separate eco-system to find all of her shows.  But we're missing the 4k / HEVC content.

Any thoughts on streaming greater than 1080P content in windows?  I'm not very well versed in how this all works.  I've seen that it's working for the shield, but haven't found anything about it working in windows. 

The issue:

1. When playing netflix content offered in 4k with HEVC/HDR enabled the load icon will persist and the content will not start playing (even if I wait 5-10 minutes).  Kodi process needs to be killed to resume normal playback.
   

What I've tried:

1. Everything up to date (Kodi Nightly as of today / input streamer v11  / 0.13.18 netflix addon) - I have not tried beta 14
   
2. Changing out my ESN for the ESN found in the windows netflix app (same box) - no effect
   
3. Changing my windows desktop to HDR mode - no effect
   
4. Changed input stream adaptive to manual stream selection / max quality at 1MB - no effect / still hangs
   
5. Changed input stream adaptive minimum quality to 20MB - no effect
   
6. Change render method to Software (from DXVA) / turned auto refresh rate switching off - no effect
   

Before I dig any further, I'm wondering if HEVC in windows is supported at all.  If not, is there any idea as to the timeline for when it may be supported?
