FAQ:
-
How do I know it's working? R: Open power settings on upper left corner and check if it says "Toggle HDR OFF". If it says to turn it OFF means it is ON.
-
I have started Kodi using AUTOHDR.bat but the KODI Graphic User Interface is not in HDR, why? R: The user interface is not rendered in HDR, when you start a video file that has HDR metadata and your display is HDR capable it will switch your TV to HDR mode.
-
What about movies that are not HDR? R: Movies that are not HDR, meaning that those do not have HDR metadata will be rendered in SDR as normal.
