    Could you recommend some hardware for CE so I could try some DV content?

    DV is encumbered by licensing and closed-source code needed to make things work. Kodi supports it on selected Android hardware like the nVidia shield and Firestick where the chip vendor paid-to-play and embedded the necessary stuff in the Android display pipeline; and support for DV is simply exposed to Kodi as a capability via the Android MediaCodec API.

    None of the above happens on general purpose Linux or distros like LE because none of the moving parts are open-source and aside from a few scattered bits of boot and wireless firmware everyone middle-fingers closed source blobs and nobody will pay the licensing fees. The one possible exception you might look into is the latest OSMC Vero 5? box which is basically taking the Amlogic Android-Linux kernel (with all the needed codec support built-in) and perverting it for Linux/Kodi use. Go read the small print though; because I haven't and I'm only assuming it has support for DV media (but it likely does).

    Thanks, this is what I thought anyway.

    My experience with LE on the Pi4 has been so good with standard HDR10 content, I am struggling to feel like I might be missing out by not being able to play DV content. I always ensure my media is HDR10.

    Am I really missing anything with DV compared to HDR10?

    I’ve been a long time user of LE on a Pi4 and the experience has been excellent. 4K HDR10 with pass through of any audio stream, what more could I want?

    I have one minor niggle that probably shouldn’t even be a niggle…. I’ve just got a new 77” Sony Bravia XR which supports Dolby Vision. Obviously no DV on a Pi, so I started researching other hardware options for Kodi on hardware that does support DV.

    Which basically means Android…. I have used a firestick 4K max and Nvidia shield Pro but neither of them hold a candle to the Pi4 running LE.

    So long story short…. Is the pi4 as good as it gets currently for Kodi on LE? I have a pi5 on pre order but literally the ONLY thing missing here is DV support.

    Thanks

    Just stumbled across this.

    https://everything.curl.dev/ftp/ftps

    I wonder if this is what is happening. My FTP server is configured for Explicit TLS rather than Implicit (since its deprecated in filezilla server) and that CURL doc says the correct way to handle Explicit FTPS is to use ftp:// and NOT ftps://, but then to add the "--ssl-reqd" flag on the curl command.

    I guess that flag can't be added to the URL in KODI? How about adding |AUTH=tls instead? So ftp://user:pass@http://ftp.myftp.com/Movies|AUTH=tls

    I am trying to make an FTPS connection to a server of mine running filezilla server. Its set to require explicit FTPS (min TLS v1.2) and has a public wildcard certificate (issued by major public CA). This configuration is tested working from various FTPS clients at different locations. Should probably say that I'm a network/infrastructure guy and configure servers/networks/certificates all day long. The FTPS server is good.

    However adding an FTPS connection within the Kodi interface does not work. It cannot make a connection. Upon investigation heres what the client kodi logs and the filezilla server logs show. IP's/Domains changed for privacy of course.

    This is the line of concern:

    Code
    TEXT: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

    From my research, it appears this Curl FTPS library is having a hard time dealing with TLS 1.2 or above and actually looks like its trying to use SSLv3, which of course will fail.

    Any ideas?
