Instructions:

Do NOT toggle windows HDR switch ON. Leave it off.

Extra instructions

This fork can force 12bits output on Nvidia Hardware, to do this create an advancedsettings.xml file in %AppData%\Kodi\userdata with the following:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
   <nvidia12bits>true</nvidia12bits>
</advancedsettings>

This fork can switch Windows HDR display settings toggle automatically for content that is HDR10.
This can be used as a fix for Ryzen with desaturated colors because the bt.2020 flag is not sent to the display.
This has a caveat, if you use display refresh rate change for 23.976 playbacks this will default the player to 60hz.

To use it create an advancedsettings.xml file in %AppData%\Kodi\userdata with the following:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
   <autohdr>true</autohdr>
</advancedsettings>

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS:

1. HDR content has desaturated colors with Ryzen or XT 5700:
- Press CTRL+H before playing the movie to enable Windows HDR or enable autohdr in advancedsettings.xml

2. When playing a Bluray or UHD Bluray with menus and can't click on the pop up of resume feature:

- Press M to bring the Kodi OSD menu and press the video home menu button. This will bring the controller to the Bluray menu. 

For BD-J playback you will need java runtime environment 8. Download it from the official java website here:
