Thanks for the response. Don't actually have one yet, but the plan is getting a 4K HDR tv, yes, and to stream BD 4K movies to the tv from the NAS (my bad, don't know about the availability of rippable/downloadable HDR movies but whatever). To answer the question, i guess no need to play HDR UHD content on non HDR displays. Netflix/Youtube/HBOGO/whatever would be a nice bonus, but it does not matter really, NAS is the main priority. Thanks! (Also read about the Amlogic S912 boxes, seem good)

(AMLogic) S905 chipsets do not support HDR. The MINIX U1 has a S905 chipset.

I guess you can still turn on HDR to SDR conversion in KODI. Not perfect and not HDR, but better than the washed out colors.

Hi Guys,
brought a new 4k HDR Oled and now its time to build a kodi system to use 4k HDR.
The Movie files are on a file server running Emby.
The new device should be connected to my AVR and to TV (when possible 2 HDMI ports - because my AVR is not capable of Dolby Vision passtrough - one port for Video to TV and one for Audio to AVR)
Actualy i am using a Windows HTPC and would prefer to do this again.
Need all Sound Formats incl. Dolby Atmos and DTS X.
HDR to SDR or something like that is not needed. Just one Display device.
I am able to build a DIY System if thats the best way. Which suggestions you have for me?
As i see until now the Shield seems to be only good solution for this?
Kind regards

i am not using Amazon Prime or Netflix.
But wanted to use iso files with Dolby Vision.
So upgrading my media pc to an AMD Athlon 200GE should work for me?
Would like to use an Intel NUC but someone told me that 4k 60hz HDR is not working with them?
