Kodi has not dropped VDPAU support for v19 and LE10 will still support nVidia chips. Our Stats show a continued decline in nVidia users and there are still more installs with older cards (legacy driver) than new ones. Although VDPAU is not technically "dead" there is no progress on 10-bit support so at some point (maybe Kodi v20) the axe will fall.
Hello chewitt!
My mistake... X11 Support will be removed...
But due to this also VDPAU.
"LibreELEC 10.0 will remove support for Xorg/X11 windowing on x86_64 hardware and move the entire distro to a common DRM/GBM video framework. This change will also impact nVidia users as Kodi v19 removes support for VDPAU"
Development Update – LibreELEC
Edit: I found one Statement from you that Nvidia EG gtx1050 has No Support in LE 10.
4k Linux Question?
v19 removal of VDPAU support
I Said vpdau doesn't Support 4k HDR and is also No longer developed.
And nvenc has No linux Support yet. AFAIK
Also I read alot that LE will drop Nvidia Support for LE 11.
You states the Same Here:
LibreELEC use intel HD instead of nvidia GPU
"Kodi in LE v8/v9 uses VDPAU for nVidia cards, which is no longer developed, and VDPAU only supports 8-bit HEVC. LE v10 will not support X11, so unless nVidia get their VDPAU replacement sorted in the next year, LE 11 will not support nVidia cards"
And:
Radeon graphics card for LibreELEC 10.0
"I lost track of AMD cards years ago so cannot comment on that model, but GTX1050 is nVidia so it will not be supported in LE10 .. or to be more specific; it will run via the nouveau driver (slowly) and you won't want to use it."
Correct me If I am wrong.
It would be nice to have Nvidia support. Over the Last 10 years Nvidia was the Video Card of choice. Not only for LE also for VDR (yavdr, etc). And the image quality was way better (lancosz 3 scaler and pretty good deinterlacers) than with Intel or AMD If you could use them.
