Can any devs here please kick-off a new LE12 nightly build as I’m desperate for a nfs fix (there are multiple references to nfs fix commits since last nightly, including latest Linux version). I’m on Generic (not legacy).

I just yesterday posted about this on the Kodi forum.

There were new commits earlier today for nfs fixes including in the latest Linux version committed.

We just need to wait for a new nightly build as the last one missed those commits I think.

Can any devs here kick-off a new build as I’m desperate for a fix. I even replaced all by 10GBE network which was expensive…

My Kodi post:

NFS Issues with two NAS - when only 1 NAS running

I hope this gets approved and merged asap while we’re still,in beta mode.

Kodi Omega 21 nightly build has not been updated in the LE12 nightlies for about 4 weeks. Can we get a new build please?

What version of LE are you using?

Have you set your Kodi audio settings to match your AVR’s decoding capabilities?

Anyone else notice that latest LE 12 nightly plays Dolby Atmos JOC (streaming Atmos) as Dolby Digital 5.1 only? Is this LE only or in all flavors of Kodi?

My Denon amp Displays the codec as 'Dolby Digital Plus' with nothing from height speakers. Previous Versions show DD+ Atmos with height speakers active.

In addition Atmos TrueHD only displays as 'Dolby TrueHD' (but plays heights) whereas it used to display 'Dolby Atmos'

I have not updated bm Denon firmware. Is it possible a recent change in the Kodi player is sending changed metadata?

BT.2020 issue should now be fixed in the nightlies.

Looking good on my 2 x NUC8 i3. One with a Sony A8 and other a LG CX.

Is there perhaps a current build for Intel graphics and media driver again "devel"?

Yes. The latest LE12 devel nightly build with Kodi 21 alpha

Intel HW decoding/encoding features list can be found here.

Thanks. I just ordered a Intel NUC11TNKi3 to test latest LibreElec HDR10 builds (Tiger Lake) (TGLx)

Based on that doc my 2 x Intel NUC8 are not going to do HDR10 (KBLx).

fab233 I can’t quote your notes about editing your last post but I have same results on my NUC8 with latest SMP build and official 11.01 LE.

Here are your notes. I wish we could get a response from the experts as this last versions of smp builds and LE with Kodi 20.1 the HDR colour is not the same as older builds:

Edited 2 times, last by fab233: edit : probably this is NOT an HW Decode problem on KODI & N95 ! Hevc, 4k hdr10, 2k/4k DV , 2k/4k AV1 finally runs quite well when DRM PRIME is let disabled on the Player menu (as it's the default) ... BUT such runs are then w/o the rich colors of hdr10 nor with DV color mapping). More : with VP9.2 w/o PRIME, and when DRM PRIME is set on, all codecs become so slow that the mouse'arrow is like a full animated cartoon and nothing is played on the video... : these so very slow frame rates of mouse w/o any frame on screen made me upper write that they were no hw acceleration... There are, but no HDR10 nor DolbyVision for Adler chip. I used your previous 20200830 version on my GLK to decode HDR10 videos, on a Beelink X45 mini-PC, i recalled my testings and HDR10 was working in DRM PRIME with Direct to plane (that were at that time the default values) and VP9.2 was also played HDR. On this same GLK box with your latest 20230331, i got only one of my 4khdr10 video to play ok as hdr10, this w/o PRIME ! as with PRIME et EGL set (the new defaults), only washed colors (hdr,dv,vp9.2). I hope you understand what pn the road from 2020 to 2023 made all this changes ... GLK was 9.5 gen, N95 is gen-11 GPU in gen-12 CPU, but do have AV1 decoding when i3-1125g4 did not !! Still need some testing and time to get intel things working on unix ! (Saturday, 7:05 am).

smp What is the recommended Kodi video settings for 4K HDR BT2020 for your latest build please?

Do we need DRM Prime enabled?

sunlollyking Your log says the your file is not HEVC H.265. Its H.264. I’ve never seen HDR in a 264 file. My HDR files that play in LE as HDR are all Blu-ray rips in HEVC 265 files.

Thanks. I have two NUC8 i3BEK (two rooms with LE/Kodi). I moved 2nd NUC with Dec 29 build to the system that had problems and Atmos plays without an issue.

I’ll try the NUC that had problems (with reverted build) again and test. Maybe the AVR and 4K TV being switched off has reset something external to the NUC?

I wish there was an Generic x64 sub-forum here. Anyway…

I’ve been using nightly LE 11 builds on my Intel NUC8 i3 for some time with no real issues. Yesterday I upgraded from Dec 29 build to Jan 19 and Atmos audio is skipping (missing audio for a second or so) quite often. I switched back to Dec 29 build and now that is skipping on Atmos too! I now cannot watch/listen to any Atmos movie, music…

Was there a firmware update in Jan 23 builds? Why has the Jan 23 Atmos issue not be resolved when I go back to Dec 29 build? I have not had any audio issues in LE 11 builds since early smp HDR builds over 12 months ago and none in LE 11 nightlies until the latest build.

My Intel NUC Kit NUC7i3BNK won't play HDR with the nightlies (whereas SMPs builds do) ... do I need the generic or legacy?

Don’t use DRPrime on the nightly builds (I think is the solution). I have it off on my NUC8i3 NUCs and both produce HDR on my two TVs (one Sony, one LG). Nightly from about a week ago on both.

My two NUC8 i3 play DTS-HDMA and Atmos using your Question 2 build

Thanks smp I guess this means no more SMP HDR builds?

I can’t thank you enough for you work/buils and post here. Thank you!

Updated build in post #1.

Thanks for the new build. I installed on my two NUC8i3 LE boxes today and played a variety of movies, music videos and multichannel music and looks good! No issues.

The previous build would crash Kodi if I switched between those types of files, but was quite stable if I just played music or a movie.

Thanks again for all your HDR builds!

Excellent. Thanks for the quick response.
