  • RPi4 testbuild with HDR support

    Quote from HiassofT

    Kodi just added support for HDR type info https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/19983 and it looks like it should be possible to get that via jsonrpc, too.

    The next nightly (which should be built in a few hours) will contain a kodi bump with this feature, it'll also show now a "HDR10" or "HLG" icon in GUI, please give that a try.

    I can confirm that the current nightly (20220119) DOES have the feature, and it seems to be working. Icons are shown, jsonapi also reports "hdrtype".

    Also, it seems to have a fix for subtitles on HDR - they seem less-crazy-bright anyway.

    Hi all - hope this is a good place to ask this:

    Is there any way to know that KODI in libreelec on rpi is playing a HDR video - from the "outside"? By some API call, looking somewhere,...

    I'm using HyperHDR for ambilight, and that needs to be told (switched) when playing a HDR video, so it can properly correct the colors.

    The best I've been able to come up with is using KODI API to get "currentMedia" - and parsing the filename for "HDR". However, I can't be 100% sure all files are (or will be) named correctly.

    So - is there a way to "ask" KODI (or librelecec, or rpi) if it's playing a HDR video? Thanks!
