Hi
If I watch an HDR file (plays fine on my HDR TV) then when I switch back to the Kodi interface, all colours are hugely over saturated.
This remains until I play an SDR file.
Any thoughts?

That is great news. Thanks so much.

Hi
So two years or so ago, I asked this question here:
QuoteAnyway - the new Raspi has potential to solve one of my problems. My TV has one 4K HDMI input, but my reciever is 1080P only. Unfortunatly the TV will only send stereo back down the ARC if the source is external. So I need a way of getting pass-through audio to the receiver.
Will it be possible to use the second HDMI to output the audio (with or without 1080P or lower video) while sending the full 4K video to the TV on the other HDMI?
The answer indicated technical feasibility - but low priority and unlikely to be implemented any time soon.
Now we have full release 10 for the Pi 4, I was wondering if "anytime soon" had happened over the last two years, or if not, is there still a chance. Or is it just unlikely to happen at all?
Thanks. -
That will be a limitation of the VGA input on your tv. Nothing you can do in Kodi to fix that.

Thanks all - decided to ditch the card and start new. I don't need the potential unreliabiliyt of a dodgy card.
Will also adapt the Pi3 to boot from USB and then change to a spare USB pendrive. -
SD memeory card formatter didn't touch it either. Tried two mac machines, a linux vitual machine (though impossible to tell if the USB passthrough caused additionl problems) and a windows machine. Doesn't matter: Only a fiver for a new card.
-
OK - so I managed to mount the partition and get what seems to be all the files off. Nothing would write to it or format it though, so the card has gone in the bin.
After I've re-installed, what files or directories should I copy onto the new card from the old, in order to recover the setup (database, settings, sources etc).
And do I have to worry that I'll be copying from an older installation to a new one?Thanks.

Libreelec on Pi model 3b
On boot I get the message
Filesystem corruption has been detected!
To prevent an automatic repair attempt continuing,
press any key or power off your system within the next 120 secondsThen
"fsck.ext4 unable to set superblock flags on /dev/mmcblk0p2"
/dev/mmcblk0p2 WARNING Filesystem still has errors
Forced fsck failed. Your system is broken beyond repair.
Please re-install libreelec.
Obviously I haven't backed up the card
.Any way of recovery other than full re-install and re-setup?
I can still see contents of card on my MacThanks.

Based on the previous answer, I'm pretty certain this won't be worked on until all (or most) PI4 bugs in existing fuctionality are worked out. I think it is a case of needing to be patient.
-
Of course Pi 4 has just been released. Still seem to be some issues to iron out - but once stable, that will be my way to 4k kodi.
-
I think this is possible from a hardware perspective.
We'll need a way for kodi to choose a different hdmi port for the audio
(possibly a different Sink, or maybe just a config option).
Don't hold your breath - there are more important things to support first,
but it's something I'll bear in mind.
Sounds good. I fully understand that there are many other things to work on, so I don't expect a quick solution. In fact I dont' expect a solution at all - but if it arrives, it'll be great. Thanks.
