Fixes
- Video playback stuttering when using external Subtitles on S912 devices
Notes
- 444,10bit settings should only be used on a HDMI 2.0 connected 4K 10bit capable display.
Otherwise expect a permanent black screen. - Update compatible with kszaq LibreELEC releases. Not compatible with CoreELEC.
Tips
- Suggestion is to leave the Kodi GUI at 1080p50/60Hz so a 4K TV can upscale all non 4K video.
- AML LE Kodi autoswitches 1080p <<-->> 4K anyway when playing back actual 4K video.
Known Bugs
- There is no 4:2:2 Chroma Subsampling support for those with 4:2:2 only projectors.
