Not familiar with Kodi where do I get the plug in setting to enable VP9 for better video quality?

Question of the Day: If you were buying a TV today, which brand would you choose?

I don't know if you found it, but it's on the same page/place where you changed the ESN setting under Expert in Settings.
xbmcfan is still around with the same username and recent posts.

Thanks for suggesting the Chromecast with google tv, we loving it...need to find a purpose for the LIT box now.
Thanks for the Kodi/Netflix work around. Obviously not as simple as having a working Netflix app, but I can confirm that it works. Changed the ESN and then had to play with the video quality setting somewhere - auto was only giving 480p, so changed it from auto to 1080p I think. Now it's great.
Glad to hear.
One thing I have noticed is that by default, if your TV is 4K HDR, it will try upscale the SDR content to HDR which results in washed out colours.
To resolve this and to stop the device from trying to upscale SDR content to HDR, go to
Settings -> Display and Sound-> Dynamic range and colour format -> Match content dynamic range -> Match content
Somebody has to tell me what is the point of HDR indeed? Everywhere I turn it's causing issues rather than adding value.
Its difficult to explain as it is something that really needs to be seen. The issue is that TVs that can display HDR content correctly as it should be viewed are normally the more expensive upper end TVs. The cheaper TVs that are HDR compatible can display HDR on content, but they can't really reach the colour levels and light levels needed for HDR content leaving the viewer with an image that doesn't really look much different to 4K SDR.

HDR is a fix for a problem that does mot exist.
Creators of content go to great lengths to create a scene with mood and atmosphere, then HDR comes along and randomly "enhances" it. Probably because some marketing Droid decided it would be good for sales.

The TV's with good panel don't need HDR, and the cheap ones, it does not help much anyhow. But then I doudt anything would help those panel.

yeah no, I am not there yet hey...one day is one day...but for now 1080p Full HD is where I am at.
Respectfully disagree.
In fact, if you play game like Forza Horizon and drive around at night, first with HDR enabled and then disabled, the difference is staggering, especially when it comes to things like brightness of oncoming cars headlights and even the cats-eyes on the road.
I can clearly see a vast difference to when the same TV processes HDR content with HDR enabled and then disabled.

You can very clearly see the affect of HDR on a good panel.
Are you seeing the content, as it was created, or you seeing an altered version, that appeals to your point of view.

It’s part of the source, it’s metadata essentially.

Hmmm ... , a digital version of colour/contrast/brightness buttons of yesteryear.

But that wouldn’t be as it was created by the content creator.
Would it be fair to say it's niche at this point in time?

They where never great then, and HDR tho better, is far from awesome. Has an aplication for improving "sight" in games, but yeah, I know some who would consider that cheating but to each their own.

There are no results on the Maverick yet that I can find.
If someone maybe can do a geek bench test and post the results?
Got hold of the Maverick. How do I test? I don't see Geekbench on app store?
