Neat, I might finally be able to use a proper Linux PC as HTPC instead of an Odroid running CoreELEC once HDR switching works.

Up until recently, there was no HDR support at all on regular desktop Linux. Now Wayland has HDR support and Kodi is getting it soon.

CoreELEC on Odroid (and many other ARM boxes) is able to switch between HDR/SDR, different resolutions and passthrough all audio codecs. All of which I need for proper media playback in my home theater.

Can Kodi pass Dolby Vision on windows yet? I haven’t used it in over a year probably.

I still haven’t figured out how to get Kodi working. Im using Debians version from the repos, added The Crew plugin, but still can’t successfully stream any movies or TV shows. Im running a VPN 24/7.
