KScreen Mode Switch

Kodi service add-on for KDE Plasma on Wayland. When a video starts it sets the output resolution, refresh rate and HDR with kscreen-doctor to match the video, and restores the desktop mode when playback stops.

Kodi cannot change the display mode itself under Wayland, which is why this add-on exists.

Requirements

  • Kodi 21 or newer, running in a KDE Plasma 6 Wayland session
  • kscreen-doctor (Debian/Ubuntu: libkscreen-bin)

Settings

  • Output: the output to switch; auto uses the first active one. Change it with Choose output.
  • Switch HDR: enable HDR for HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision videos.
  • Allow 4K at 50/60 Hz: off by default, as many HDMI links cannot carry it.
  • Pause after mode change: seconds to wait for the TV to resync.

Install

Download service.kscreen.modeswitch-<version>.zip (not "Source code") from Releases and use Add-ons → Install from zip file. This needs Unknown sources enabled in Settings → System → Add-ons.
