Hi, Me too.
Kodi HDR Edition Final For Real works fine. I have my Windows set to 24 Hz, same in KODI (24 Hz / 24p). (GPU - RX580X and Ryzen 5 1600x)

@fandangos,

I am curious if there is any chance that you would be releasing another Python v2 version? There are far too many add-ons that are not v3 ready yet, so I am still running the v2 version, but that means that I miss out on any updates you've made since then. It's okay if not, but I figured it was worth asking.

Thanks,

Not to speak for fandangos, but he's repeatedly stated he has no plans to release another Python v2 version. He's got better stuff to work on right now.

Then what about a guide to compile a python 2 version? From what I understand it's not that tough, then we can stop asking, and one of us that's not jogal or fandangos can compile and release on occasion.

That way we're helping instead of being left behind. Addon developers won't even bother coding in python 3 until kodi moves to version 19 and that's a long ways away still.

The beauty of open source.

There you go:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...Windows.md

Just checkout a commit before python 3 is set and merge my hdr commits with it and compile.

Any chance this is an option? Or is it more involved than just compiling? I would be glad to assist in whatever way possible.

Kodi Matrix 19.0 HDR Edition.

This fork of Kodi aims to bring support for full HDR10 pass through on Windows 10 using Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
For Intel use this fork instead: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=349861

January 2020 version:

1. Set frame latency from 1 to 6 to solve stuttering. (Thanks bentom)
   
2. Added AutoHDR for BT.2020***
   
3. Added manual Windows HDR switch using CTRL+H.
   

Download link:Kodi Matrix 19.0 HDR Edition:
https://github.com/fandangos/Kodi-HDR-Edition/releases


 

Instructions:

Install and start kodi
Do NOT toggle windows HDR switch ON. Leave it off.

Extra instructions

This fork can force 12bits output on Nvidia Hardware, to do this create a advancedsettings.xml file in %AppData%\Kodi\userdata with the following:
<advancedsettings>
   <nvidia12bits>true</nvidia12bits>
</advancedsettings>

This fork can switch Windows HDR display settings toggle automaticly for content that is HDR10.
This can be used as a fix for Ryzen with dessaturated colors because the bt.2020 flag is not sent to the display.
This has a caveat, if you use display refresh rate change for 23.976 playback this will default the player to 60hz.
To use it create a advancedsettings.xml file in %AppData%\Kodi\userdata with the following:
<advancedsettings>
   <autohdr>true</autohdr>
</advancedsettings>

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS:


1. HDR content have dessaturated colors with Ryzen or XT 5700:
- Press CTRL+H before playing the movie to enable Windows HDR or enable autohdr in advancedsettings.xml

2. I have enabled autohdr to fix colors for Ryzen or XT 5700 but display refresh rate change doesn't work anymore:
- This is a problem when automatic enabling Windows HDR, to solve this disable autohdr and press CTRL+H before starting the video file. 

3. I'm playing a Bluray or UHD Bluray with menus and I can't click on the pop up of resume feature:
- Press M to bring the Kodi OSD menu and press video home menu button. This will bring the controller to the bluray menu. 

For BD-J playback you will need java runtime environment 8.
Download it from the official java website here:
https://www.java.com/en/download/
and
https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10

Source code:
https://github.com/fandangos/Kodi-HDR-Edition/

Comparison: OPPO 203 vs Kodi HDR Editon

Need new pictures.

Thank you! 

This is all great but is anyone else noticing crazy judder or stuttering on 1080p movies? Stuttering does not occur on official release. Can provide video on request. Makes movies unwatchable. HDR also looks a little washed out to me. Is anyone else experiencing this? 

Thanks

Also what should my HQ shaders be set to, to prevent Kodi from upscaling 1080p content in software. I would prefer the TV take care of the upscaling.

Hey Guys,

Three Items, 

1. How do you set frame latency... I am getting crazy stutter / jumping on 1080p videos with this release. 


2. How do I set HQ Shaders so that 1080p does not get upscaled in software, as I prefer the TV Does my 4k upscaling. 

3. HDR10 Content still seems washed out... Is it my imagination... how can I compare. 

THanks,

[fandangos]

For stuttering use the mordred exe I linked recently in this thread and he also did the same.

To select the output whitelist the desired resolution so your tv will do the upscaling.

Frame latency can only be set while compiling.


To everyone, my wife got an invitation to live in another country and I'm going with her.
Moving somewhere is already a very demanding task and to another country is even crazier so I'm not updating this build anymore.

I already wanted to do a final build but updated a few more times.

I'm hoping the hdr code will be part of main kodi and this build becomes obsolete in the meantime try different releases until you find some that feel your needs or use jogal's build.

It was a fun ride. I've learned a lot.
Thanks to each and everyone of you.
Until my life settles down this is a good bye for now.

Thanks for providing your build and all the great user support.  I think you have been more than kind.  Best of luck in your future.

Congratulations to her and best of luck on the move. Thanks for all your hard work and proving that HDR in Kodi wasn't just a pipedream.

What country, mate? Sounds exciting! I, too, moved from Germany to Australia to be with my wife. Great times.

Wow! Thanks for all you've done and for all you've tried doing. It's been much appreciated.

Edit: you are talking about interlaced content?

no its not interlaced. HLG is a Differnt HDR Standart especially for Television. All Big TV Vendors (Samsung, LG, Sony) support it.
Here is a sample for u to try out:   https://www.file-upload.net/download-139...ns.ts.html

The big + on HLG is that also Devices that wont support HDR can paly it correctly. Kodi simply should not switch the TV in HDR mode when HLG content is played, or the better way: it switches the TV in "HLG-HDR" Mode (but im not shure nVIDIA supports HLG currently).
Another thing, i can only use Kodi 19 HDR v3.0 with phyton 2.5.. if u make a fix for the HLG problem i need it for the python 2.5 version ^^

[nazim12]

My all HDR Movies working fine , only problem Resolver URL and URLResolve wont working , so no addon working without them , so no streaming , and there is no option introduces yet where  we paste our streaming link in kodi like other players VLC , POTplayer etc

[mclingo]

 

Hiya mate, just a thought, the fix you've put in to force the BT2020 flag for AMD users, I wonder if this can somehow be implemented into the new DSPlayer build thats getting us all really excited, this might sound like a silly question as these are two completely different players VIDEOPLAYER vs DSPLAYER, but I thought it might just be worth asking.

Build is here and its great.
