Hi all
I have been using XBMC 12.2 for 5 years now and now find that I need to upgrade to kodi 16.1 as there some new formats that are not supported by XBMC.
I installed kodi 16.1 on windows 7 pro and tried it out but having problems with video playback and kodi menus been washed out and need some advice since xbmc works fine.
TV = Pioneer lx5090
Amp = Yamaha RX3900
XBMC 12.2 to KODI 16.1
System = ATI card with Windows 7 Pro
Combos I have tried
Test 1
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range Disabled
Kodi = Limited Colour range disabled.
Menus are black not washed out but video is washed out
Test 2
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range Disabled
Kodi = Limited Colour range enabled.
Menus are washed out and also video playback is washed out
Test 3
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range enabled set to limited
Kodi = Limited Colour range Disabled.
Menus are black not washed out but video is washed out
Test 4
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range enabled set to limited
Kodi = Limited Colour range enabled.
Menus are washed out and also video playback is washed out
Test 5
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range Enabled set to Full
Kodi = Limited Colour range enabled.
Menus are washed out and video playback is NOT washed out
Test 6
ATI Driver = Colour Pixel Count YCbCr 4:4:4
ATI Driver = Dynamic Range Enabled set to Full
Kodi = Limited Colour range disabled.
Menus are not washed out and video playback is NOT washed out
So test 6 seems to work but the problem is Video is not designed to be set to full and should be set to limited and I can not seem to get this to work.
I have read abit about how to setup the cards and was wanting to know which is the best pixel count setting I should be using as I have 4 options ?
YCbCr pixel format 4:4:4 (default)
YCbCr pixel format 4:2:2
RGB 4:4:4 pixel format studio(Limited)
RGB 4:4:4 pixel format PC standard (Full RGB)
is there something in there I should be using.
thanks
