Yes, it does play 4k at 60fps, as advertised, but they don't advertise at which bitrate and not in Kodi ![]() Since it has a modest SoC, how does it perform with Android's HBO_Max app? Is there able to run with best quality? When I tried on my FS4k I could get UHD 4k with Dolby Vision and Atmos sound without problems...

Osmosis is an addon for exporting watchlist from various VOD addons. But it doesn't work very well. It also supports HBO Max, Disney + or PrimeVideo. Also Netflix but that has the option to export to the library directly in the addon, which is of course a better option. So if you were considering adding this feature to your HBOMax and Disney + addons in the future, that would be realy great.

Today I tried to play the new Batman directly via the HBOMax application and there was no problem with playback. But there is no quality setting, so how do I know that my device really played the movie in 4K?

The only way I know of how to check the quality of a played movie is to watch if "HDR" or "HDR+", or "Dolby Vision" sign appears on your TV screen when the movie starts. This enough info for max stream quality... RE: HBO Max - webmaher - 2022-04-18 this is only info to play in 4k quality but you have 3 different resolution with 3 different bitrate and only one is 3840x2160 and max bitrate up to 30Mb/s... RE: HBO Max - Sholander - 2022-04-18 3 different resolutions? If it's in 4k then it's surely in 3840x2160 resolution. What other means are there to check the quality of played stream? RE: HBO Max - webmaher - 2022-04-18 4K=3different resolution=HBOMax thinking... we all know that only 3840X2160 is the one but... HBOmax logic say NO NO NO ![]() RE: HBO Max - Sholander - 2022-04-18 Yes, I looked at the 4k offer for The Batman and actually there are only 2 versions with 3840X2160 resolution, but with a different bitrate. ![]() RE: HBO Max - Kravatak76 - 2022-04-18 (2022-04-18, 13:42)Sholander Wrote:I see, I have an older TV, although it's 4K but it doesn't support HDR, so I don't know it now ... But I'll buy a new one that will already support all the new formats, so I'll try it. But that still doesn't solve the problem, I probably won't play anything in Kodi in 4K, does it? My goal was to have everything in one library (local files, VODs) and play everything from one place. I gradually worked on that, but as I understand it, I'm limited to HD.(2022-04-18, 11:52)Kravatak76 Wrote: But there is no quality setting, so how do I know that my device really played the movie in 4K? RE: HBO Max - robotzel78 - 2022-04-19 Hi! I'm using Amazon Firestick, Kodi matrix 19.3, and i like very much this add-on. My only problem is that didn't synchronize with online hbo account. After watching one episode from tv series, didn't show in kodi like seen, and checking in online hbo max account, doesn't show in continues watching. Ok, for normal movies, this is not a big problem, but when watching series, maybe you forget what is last episode watched. What can i do? RE: HBO Max - matthuisman - 2022-04-19 @Kravatak76 @anyone_else With latest slyguy common, setting just kodis preferred subtitle language should now be fine without setting the language in the addon setting. RE: HBO Max - Sholander - 2022-04-19 (2022-04-19, 12:19)matthuisman Wrote: @Kravatak76 @anyone_else Yes, I noticed that, it now behaves same as in Netflix addon. Another pretty weird thing I noticed; after booting my Firestick 4k, opening Kodi.20a (or if OS is running only restarting Kodi) and starting any 10Mbits h265 stream with DD+ I get subtitle stutter. If I then stop the stream, go to addon settings and change any option (usually I just turn on or off forced subtitles) and press OK to get out. Then playing the same stream there is no more subtitle stutter. Any idea why such behaviour?

Can I somehow set Czech subtitles to turn on whenever the audio language is different from Czech? Now it works for me in all addons so that the subtitles turn on when the audio language is English, but when it's German, for example, it doesn't work anymore. RE: HBO Max - Sholander - 2022-04-20 I think that is set in Kodi/Settings/Player/Language. For me, with these settings: Preferred audio language => Media default and Preferred audio stream => On, I get subtitles automatically on for all audio languages. |
