Ok, thank you. So, no DV for me

Quote from chewitt

The current level of support allows ffmpeg to detect the presence of DV content and depending on the DV variant, do things like ignore dynamic metadata thus allowing playback to use the static core data and still render something.

Thank you for the detailed answer, but for my understanding: isn't what you describe (ignore dynamic metadata and use the static metadata) already happening right now? I have movies that have DolbyVision but also HDR10 base layer (as far as I understand). I can play them using Libreelec and just the HDR10 (the base layer) is used, and they play fine (but without DV).

All in all, what you said does not sound very positive

This thread suggests that DolbyVision support is available in ffmpeg 7 since some time:

Will this make DolbyVision support possible in LE and is it planned to support that?

Ok, thanks again for everyone involved into this. Looking forward for future releases.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

I am having some problems with this image. One is related to playing videos (sometimes do not start) and one is related to waking up from standby. Are you interested in more detailed bug reports?

This is not a complain and I am very grateful for your images and I am aware that those are test images not meant for productive usage.

I am a bit lost about how to configure video levels to "RGB Full" on the GPU driver.

In the past (on Leia) I configured the GPU to "RGB Full" using xrandr like this:

xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"

But in this image there is no xrandr. Maybe it is not using X11 anymore?

Is there a different way to configure GPU video levels? I am using a NUC7i5BNK

Thank you!

Hi,

for some years I was following the status of HDR support in Kodi for Intel NUC devices here:

Thread

Intel true 10bits/HEVC/HDR support... ?

Hi everyone.

Intel HD500, HD600 series…. seem able to decode HEVC and generate 4k images.

But I have serious doubts about how many of those are truly able to deliver 10bits HDRs through their display interfaces.

Intel only seems to guarantee HEVC/10bits/4k/HDR in their HD620 model and correctly implemented in Display Port 1.3 / HDMI 2.0b so, probably, not all nucs, motherboards, etc.. support that full features in their firmware specs, ...

Is there any list of "confirmed platforms" able to deliver…

The latest test image from that thread worked nicely on my 7th gen NUC. Sadly that thread was closed and I could not find any further information regarding that topic since then.

So may I ask what the current status of this feature is or is there another thread where this topic is discussed? What is currently missing (roughly)? Is anything missing from Kodi? Is kernel development needed? Integration into LibreELEC?

Sorry for all the question, thanks for some answers.

Are your patches maybe available somewhere so adventurous people could try to build images themselfs? Maybe it could reduce the work for you when people asking for new builds? I would volunteer to give it a try

Thank you.

Me neither, thanks for the info!

Yes thank you. I actually did that first. But for being able to test better in the next days I think I will want to have a persistent installation.

just grab 2 usb sticks. use the custom libreelec installer from their download page and install SMP's image on one. boot with both inserted and install on the other. Easy

Thanks, that was a good idea. I did that and had it running quite quickly!

I did a short test and HDR is working out of the box on my NUC7i5BNK. I have to test it more thoroughly tho, but this is great! Thanks alot for the work!

I did delete the folder ".kodi" after updating and rebooted. Maybe that was not enough.

I tried the release "LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0-devel-20210601032257-86a07cd.img.gz" on my NUC7i5BNK but whatever type of video I try to play it instantly crashes Kodi when hitting "play".

Before that release I was running LibreElec 9 with no problems.

Ok great, I'll give it a try then, thank you!

I was hoping for you guys being able to give me a hint if it's worth a try or if it would be just a waste of time.

Am I right that this build might possibly work also on NUC7i5BNK now since LSPCON drivers are available in the Linux kernel now?

Wow, that fixed it for me, thanks.

I ended up buying a USB sound card which fixed the problem (besides one quite loud crackling sound at boot). But I will also try the fix Da Flex just posted. Thanks.
