Hello
I can confirm I've search for hours but still none the wise, hence this post.
I've recently purchase a shiny new LG OLED and was looking forward to watching some HDR content via Kodi, however that wasn't possible as with my current Kodi version all HDR movies displayed extremely dark and were unwatchable. I gave 18.5 Leia a try but still unable to watch HDR content, i.e. no metadata passthrough putting TV into HDR mode. Gave Matrix a try and whilst HDR content now worked, my addon were now broken, so Matrix is not an option and therefore I'm back on Leia. I read in a forum post (not from developer however) that Leia supports HDR, but I didn't have any success.
1. Does Leia support HDR, and if so how do I enable it please?
2. If Leia doesn't support HDR, I understand that I need to use DSPlayer and madVR, but do these still work in 18.5 as I've read that the developer for DSPlayer has quit?
3. I've only been able to source a guide to setup DSPlayer and madVR for Krypton 17.6. Does this still work for Leia 18.5, or is there an updated guide I can follow please?
4. DSPlayer and madVR both appear to be players, so why do both need to be installed?
Thank you
