Almost like HDR is enabled or something (but it isn't). Even if I stop playing the video, the Kodi menu is more saturated than normal, and even Windows itself looks different. If I then play a video file, everything gets saturated. If I boot my PC and start Kodi, everyting looks normal. I've been doing some more testing, and it seems Kodi changes the colors of the entire screen.

I'm using driver version 21.10.2, but I tried with other versions (22.2.2 and 21.8.2) and resetted the drivers everytime. I just reinstalled the driver, did a factory reset, and left the 10 bit setting disabled, but that doesn't make a difference.

The 10 Bit Pixel Format setting is enabled, but in the display settings it's set to 8 bit and Full RGB: The 10 Bit Pixel format setting is not default, but (sometimes) that is the only way to get the Full RGB option in AMD drivers, and make black actually black and not grey. Team Kodi will consider your problem report however, we will not make any promises the problem will be solved.

Note: Once the issue is made we require you to update it with new information or Kodi versions should that be required. Operating system version/name: Windows 10 21H2 Here is some additional context or explanation that might help: Your Environment Here are some links or screenshots to help explain the problem: Additional context or screenshots (if appropriate)

The debuglog can be found here: Screenshots As far as I can tell, this isn't a setting or something, but an actual change in Kodi behavior right? Debuglog I can't find anything else about this, so apparently I am the only one with this problem. This pull request seems to change some HDR and color related stuff, but in my case this makes Kodi unusable, everything looks like crap. If I then manually revert the changes from PR #19775, everything looks as it should. When I compile my own version of Kodi 19.4, everything looks dark/red/saturated. In the end, I narrowed it down to PR #19775. I narrowed it down to a few PR's, and started compiling my own versions of Kodi 19.4 with several files reverted to 19.1. I looked at the 19.2 changelog, and I saw several changes to HDR and other color related things.

When upgrading to a Kodi version past 19.1, everything looks too saturated. The AMD graphic drivers are set to '10-Bit Pixel Format', and to RGB 4:4:4 Full RGB. This issue seems to be only with SDR content though. If I play HDR movies with Kodi my TV switches to HDR mode. My Kodi PC is connected to a LG OLED, which is HDR capable. And as I said earlier, if I play a video with MPC BE it looks fine, but with Kodi > 19.1 it's too saturated. I have tried several AMD graphic driver versions, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. My Kodi PC runs Windows 10, and has an Intel G4600 CPU and an AMD RX550 GPU. I tried changing these, but that doesn't make a difference. I use standard settings in Kodi, with DXVA2 and HDR enabled.

I don't change any settings, just install a different version, and I immediately see the difference. If I install 19.2/3/4 everything looks too saturated and dark. If I play the same video files in MPC BE it looks fine.Įvery version > 19.1 has this problem. It looks like Kodi forces my TV to make everything saturated. Everything is way too red, and unwatchable. Recently I updated to 19.3, and I noticed the colors in every video were way too saturated. I don't update Kodi often, and I was running 19.1 for a while.
