I have been going nuts trying to get legitimate 4K retail discs on a player that I like and there are so many issues:
Why Does Nobody Make A Open Source 4K Disc Player Based On KODI?
Am I ignorant and one already exists? Remember the key is to have a 4K Retail disc player with proper media compatibility and a full kodi option if you wanted to install add-ons, etc.
- Xbox (either of the last 2 generations with a disc drive) would play discs fine, but it is obvious the kodi build is crippled as it has the same compatibility of the built in player.
- Any ryzen processor works with third party software decoding which freezes and crashes constantly. PowerDVD will not install due to lack of SGX drm.
- ASrock will not work even though it is claimed on product sheet. I have a intel with a Z390 board that has HDMI 1.4 !!!
- I even tried android or a Pi 4b with the LG Bluray external which is now discounted. I could not get it to work with the walkthroughs on kodi add-ons.
- Do not get me started on 4K disc players. They always have some flaw or will not play certain old or rare file formats. Not with a proper KODI release! The best standalone disc players are supposed to be $500 - $1,000. This is unacceptable to me.
