I see several guides and options out there for playback, so i'm a bit confused as to what the easiest method is to get this working under windows..
Here is what i've done so far.. I have an Nvidia 1080 FTW video card on hdmi for my Windows 10 v1803 PC.. I run at this point, Kodi with both the x64 and x86 Kodi DS Player versions (was confused on which to use, though my old base Kodi install was just the x86 version, i think i installed both Kodi DS Players).. I also installed the MadVr (codecs?).. I'm confused too, i think i read somewhere that the Kodi internal player doesnt support UHD playback.. at least the Kodi DS Player on my system it does seem to work (maybe not the hdr though).
I did set windows to HDR mode, but i think from what i read this is not necessary?
I thought i read that true UHD / HDR 10bit playback is only possible when played via external player (was this not Kodi DS Player I assume?)? I'm unsure how to tell if playback is in the right mode to begin with, short of my Samsung 75" Qn6 Remote's.. info button..
I've set the TV to Movie Mode + HDR Plus (for all inputs), so I know that part is taken care of.
Any quick pointers here or suggestions?
Thanks in advance
