I know this isn’t quite the same thing but this was what decided me to more or less give up with LibreELEC and see what other options were there ..
The problem (and benefit) with the current S905X, S905D, S912 - LE, CE and OSMC AMLogic Kodi forks is mixed SDR and 4K HDR support.
This requires custom coding and so called "hacks" or mods. to Kodi to add such support to access AMLogic Kernel features currently.
Such mods. would never be allowed in Kodi master code so AML Linux developers and users are left between a rock and a hard place.
What do you do ?
The only options then left are to totally rebrand Kodi (or LibreELEC) and remove such fork support from the Kodi forums and conduct all such development and support away from Kodi itself.
If everything Rockchip, Intel, AMLogic etc were using a mainline Kernel with the standards @
fritsch mentions above we would not even be having this conversation. Kodi Utopia would then exist !
Edit:
Team Kodi is right for herding everything into the common, modern standards direction.
There are likely going to be casualties along the way.
