h.264 video

That sample is mpeg2

It is mpeg-2 4:2:2. It will not be hardware decoded. I'm not sure pi4 is fast enough to software decode this.

Just create /storage/.config/xorg.conf

Why Coffee Lake? A Gemini Lake ITX board would be a more obvious choice for a HTPC.

there is already an LE image (~3 months old) that has working HDR support

I suppose it is non-public?

There is no support in Kodi yet.

Also, in order to support HDR LE has to drop X11 in favor of Kodi-GBM. Looks like LE devs are struggling with that.

CoreELEC is always using the same 3.14/4.9 versions of linux kernel, so it's easy to maintain those RTL drivers.

With LibreELEC someone should always fix the driver for the newer kernels.

Enable "Wait for network before starting Kodi". I get "invalid argument" errors unless I enable it.

And they do that delay only in 24p?

Yes, apparently there are some TVs that have this delay only in 24p and some Kodi users were complaining, so it was decided to add this delay. There was a discussion somewhere on Kodi forum regarding this.

Add this to advancedsettings.xml to disable the delay:

<advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <latency>
     <delay>0</delay>
      <refresh>
       <min>23</min>
       <max>24</max>
       <delay>0</delay>
      </refresh>
    </latency>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>

Try to disable in bios anything that has to do with power saving. And maybe try to force the max. GPU frequency (not sure how to do this on AMD).

I don't see any issues on my J4105 board with SD videos and VAAPI hw acceleration enabled. Can you upload a small sample of the problematic video?

Are you using a 4K display? Make sure the scaling method is set to "Nearest neighbor". Otherwise you will get lots of dropped frames when upscaling SD to 4K.

It seems like the Intel NUCs are kind of hardware limited

There is nothing wrong with current Intel NUC's hardware. HDR support has just appeared in Linux kernel 5.3 and it is not yet implemented in Kodi.

Yeah, setting GPU frequency to a max.setting is pretty much a must for most Intel LE boxes. I use 750 mhz GPU speed for my Gemini Lake box. However, I didn't have to change the CPU governor to "performance" because default "powersave" seem to work fine for me.
