10 bit transcoding funky colours on libreelec/kodi

[TheTabman 4]

I'm trying to play 10bit mkv movies on my Pi3 with libreelec/kodi, I'm wondering if I need if I need some special ffmpeg version to transcode the file on my windows 7 Emby server.   

To my confusion I get the same wrong and funky colours no matter if I try to direct play, or transcode the file.

Screenshot:

   

I have the feeling that somehow ffmpeg fails and the file is just streamed normally.

This seems to be the only relevant part from the server log when I recently tried again:

Ps: is there a way to generate a ffmpeg log when trying to transcode? That would really help me.

[TheTabman 4]

I did a bit more of experimenting, and it seems indeed that the 10 bit media files are not transcoded. ffmpeg runs only for a very short time, maybe 1/5 second, and creates 20 to 26 small (996kb to 9500kb) different *ts files and one m3u8 in the transcode temp directory. Then the file is played without any transcoding on my Pi3. After the file finished playing, the temp files are deleted. I also tried setting the transcode directory into a "network substitute" path, but that also made no difference.

Finally, I also tried various ffmpeg version, static/shared/64bit/32bit/old/new, no difference.

 

Here's a paste bin link to the server log :http://pastebin.com/sgrCD6fs
