KODI 19.0 Matrix HDR Windows API (merged)
This is a fork of Kodi 19.0 "Matrix" version that adds full HDR support with maximum image quality and HDR10 metadata passthrough in Windows 10 and UWP.
Because we are in January 2020 and Kodi does not have (yet) an official version that supports playing 4K HDR content for Windows 10, I created this fork, as a personal initiative to cover this important lack in the official version. The source code is publicly available and has also been sent to "Kodi Team" to be merged. KEY FEATURES
Tested on Intel NUC 8i3BEK + Denon AVX-1600H + Sony TV KD-55AG9 OLED. and Asus Maximus XI Hero + Asus Nvidia GTX1650 + Denon AVX-1600H + Sony TV KD-55AG9 OLED DOWNLOAD https://github.com/thexai/xbmc/releases CHANGE LOG Code:
