Why won't it make it to the LE10 builds? I'm happy to test but in the end I prefer to go back to the original releases and follow their update cycle instead of relying on SMP. Would be a shame to consider replacing this NUC (7i5) if if it has the ability to work but not with the official build.
It's less about LibreELEC and more about Kodi. Kodi 19 is already in a release cycle so that means no new features and only bug fixes. So that means now that the Kodi 20 development window is open it is possible to get it merged in. I don't spend a lot of time on this though as it's very consuming and requires a lot of work.
So Kodi 20 is aimed for LibreELEC 11 which may gain x86 HDR support if I merge my work. If people want to take these patches and create their own builds that's possible also. They can also backport the patches to LE10 if they self build.
