== Autostart kodi-gbm, with HDMI audio passthrough == | |||
From ArchWiki: currently the most feature rich. It is the only one of the three options (x11, wayland, gbm) able to display HDR content, may be a good choice for standalone operations since it runs directly on the GPU without the need for the added X11 layer. A complete list of features lacking compared to other back-ends can be found in Kodi issue 14876. | |||
