Sorry to take so long, I tried settints full & limited values via xrandr but the colours etc were always a problem. For now I've had to disable VAAPI but this presents a problem playing some HD content. I'll see how it goes but may need to revert to windows+kodi

I had the same issue with only with yatse, the kodi remote would work fine. For me it turned out to be a problem with my wireless network, I ended up disabling IPv6.

Yes I'd like to use VAAPI with limited but at the moment when using VAAPI I get full and the picture is poor.

Yes WAF = Wife acceptance factor. I test the LEv8 alpha builds but had random reboots and I have plugins which aren't supported yet.

My TV is an old 48" Philips plasma and I believe only supported limited.

I'm using LE and trying to replace win81+kodi on my NUCs but I'm having problems with VAAPI I think (crushed blacks and tearing).

I was following a number of posts about colour space/vaapi/etc on kodi/OE forums and one mentioned a bug with VAAPI where the limited colour space setting is not honoured and instead full RGB is used. I have no option to adjust colour space on my TV.

From - [FAQ] Video Levels and Color Spaces Demystified -- Get the Best Picture Quality

• Kodi can be set to use limited video levels through the settings menu.
  **NOTE: There is a limitation of the VAAPI Hardware Decoder where it converts to Full video levels despite setting Kodi to use limited. To get limited video content to output from Kodi, you must disable hardware decoding in Video Settings for the time being. This will be fixed in Kodi 17

Before I starting down a fruitless path can someone confirm if this is still an issue in LEv7? And is there any possible workaround at present (I've tried LEv8-alpha but it won't pass the WAF test).

I've tried disabled VAAPI but as I'm using the Celeron NUC the CPU can't keep up with HD content and I have AV sync issues.

THanks.
