Getting the graphics version recognised would be a big step forward. However, is there a version of LE that handles HDR10 correctly and forwards the required flags to the display? If not, there's little point in taking things forward when there are more established solutions around.

The OSMC Vero4k has taken over 4k duties for me in the meantime. I will probably return to LE in the longer term as I really like building my own HTPCs

Come on, where’s your sence of humour?

No, the OSMC Linux version of Kodi. I feel it will be quite a while before LE supports HDR properly. Google Vero 4k to learn more about it. There’s also a review on AVForums. Lack of a Gibabyte Lan is its main shortcoming so it will struggle with 4k 60fps content. However, most 4k BRs don’t run to that spec yet and you couls always add a Gigabyte adapter

I’ve just got the OSMC Vero 4k box. I’m impressed so far - it can stream UHD BR rips and automatically adjusts the resolution and passes the HDR metadata to the display.

Many thanks for the replies - I have to confess I didn’t expect support would be quite so far in the future. I suppose I have two options: stick with Win10 or add a supported graphics card (which would have to low power and passively cooled).
I would be most grateful for any graphics card suggestions.

Hi All. I’ve just put together a new HTPC using the following CPU\MB combination:
Core i5 8400 (with UHD 630 graphics)
ASROCK Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX
I’ve tried 8.2.3 and the latest Milhouse build but the Coffee Lake graphics do not appear to be supported (xorg fails to start). Does anyone know a build that will support the above configuration or is it back to Win10? Thanks.
