The problem is likely that the maintainer switched the build to default to GLES, see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=kodi-git&id=508c6d72d3451514a56d9210a0c0d85052c45c43

For everything else we need a full log because we know nothing about your setup/environment.

Thanks for your reply.

Have you looked into the hardware acceleration settings? In addition what graphics card are you using?

HDR doesn't work at all unless GLES is used.

Please see line 24 in the PKGBUILD wherein you need to define the _renderer variable to a value of either gles or gl.

I would take HEVC any day instead of HDR, I never had such an issue with Kodi until now.
The problem is I'm using a kodi-git binary from Chaotic-AUR, and it autobuilds gles instead of gl, there is no way to enable gl from within Kodi.

Sounds like a hardware issue in this guy's case to me. HDR works great with my Arc, save for vp9 videos on youtube...

I want both and both work if I use cpu rendering for vp9...my fancy TV does HDR nicely. Even OSMC defaults to gles now.

If it's a hardware issue of mine, how come HEVC always worked in the past without Gles?
It's a Gles issue.

I've asked Chaotic-AUR to change PKGBUILD of kodi-git to gl before building, we'll see.

[cg00001]

It's done, kodi-git from Chaotic-AUR binary works as it should.
