Hello,

I have an ASUS chromebox and have been going through the fantastic documentation here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=ASU...ating_XBMC

I am running XBMCbuntu using the legacy Seabois option (not dual booting).

I am missing the "use limited color range" options for 16-235 use under Settings-->System-->Video Output. That line/button simply isn't there. I remember seeing this option for my ION box (other hardware) in the past, but in 13.2 final and 14.0 git (from yesterday), I don't see anything, or any way to enable it (in the advanced settings XML file etc.).

Any suggestions? This is critical to getting a good image on this hardware.

Thanks!

Chris

Please read the FAQ and switch xbmc to Advanced category.

Note that this setting does not work with VAAPI.

Thank you. Such a pleasure to speak with you directly.

I had set it to "advanced" and didn't realize that there is now an "expert" settings level that exposes that feature.

I understand that this setting doesn't work with VA-API. Long term, I'm interested in 4K playback and actually had fantastic results in this regard excepting the dynamic range issues. I have some clips I got from my former employer of very high bitrate and was playing a ~400 mbps 3840x2160 24p clip without issue. I know that there is no way around converting things to 0-255 RGB for OpenGL use, but I hope Intel and others are helpful to find a solution, based on the importance of this project.

Are you sure? Can you post a mediainfo of this file?

You have a last alternative, which is to set the intel driver to Limited Range, that will convert the full rgb output to Limited Range, which is btw. the standard on intel GPUs - so you might first test with some pattern, like: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...b_test.jpg or via video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...-video.mp4
