Updated at 05-01-2020 (forked from Kodi 19 alpha master).

Power options menu closes dialog when toggle HDR is done.
Code cleanup.

  • To use HDR features enable Windows HDR switch before open Kodi or toggle HDR ON from power options menu in Kodi.
  • If video has HDR metadata enables proper rendering.
  • Can also play SDR content with Windows HDR switch ON and it is displayed correctly.
  • And HDR content played with Windows HDR switch OFF is displayed correctly too (with no HDR).
  • Uses Microsoft Windows standard API to HDR passthrough.
  • If Windows HDR switch is turned OFF, it behaves like the normal Kodi edition.
  • For devices without HDR display capable uses HW tone mapping (DXVA) or SW tone mapping (pixel shaders) for HDR to SDR conversion.

Tested on Intel NUC 8i3BEK + Dennon AVX-1600H + Sony TV KD-55AG9 OLED.
Also works on NVIDIA / AMD hardware.
