You exactly do what I suggested above - but in a different way. But as you said above: "I don't want my desktop in 1080p but in 4k" - I did not suggest the .xprofile / xorg / xrandr way - as this was exactly what you said to not want above.

Well, yeah you're right about the 4k desktop, but that was actually just out of noobism (shame on me). I didn't actually really care about the desktop resolution per se, I was thinking if the desktop was restricted to only 1080 then Kodi would be too. Obviously I was wrong. However the problem seems to be somewhat solved for me and I want to thank you very much for being patient with me.

Now on to the stuttering 4k playback. No idea what is causing this. BBB_4k_30fps_h264 plays with only 10% CPU utilization and drops frames like crazy. But that is probably a topic for a new thread!?

Yeah - and for such issues: never forget the Debug Log - cause without no one can help you.

Sorry, but for me the issue is not solved yet.

How do I stop Kodi from upscaling? I just want Kodi always, no matter what tv, avr, whatsoever, to output the exact resolution and refresh rate as per the original movie file. It seems that there is a workaround mentioned earlier, but isn't there another solution than reprogramming and compiling?

I could live with an entry in advancedsettings.xml. Any suggestions?

I purchased a 4k TV and I am unable to get Kodi to change resolution from 1080 up to 2160 for 4k videos. The system is set to change refresh rate and the start/end of videos.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Code:
11:18 T:139665457788672   DEBUG: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg - Updated codec: ff-h264-vdpau

11:18 T:139665457788672   DEBUG: CVDPAU::SetWidthHeight Setting OutWidth: 1920 OutHeight: 1080

11:18 T:139665457788672  NOTICE:  (VDPAU) screenWidth:1920 vidWidth:3840 surfaceWidth:3840

11:18 T:139665457788672  NOTICE:  (VDPAU) screenHeight:1080 vidHeight:2160 surfaceHeight:2160

It detects the correct resolution of the video, but doesn't change to 4k.

Does your PC / Mediabox Support HDMI2.0?
If no, do you try to play a 60 fps file?

Well that was simple. You were correct. The video I was trying was 25fps, and my TV only support 30fps or 60fps. Tried a 60fps movie and it switched correctly.

Thanks

Hi Guys.

I have a samsung 4K tv and using the Kodi on the amazon fire 4k tv. i am using the silent hunter addon for 4k movies but the screen resolution on the tv remains for full hd only, where as the kodi player shows 4k as the resolution.

how to fix it ? i have viewed other series from with amazon prime on 4k, works fine, when a 4k movie starts the fire tv switches the resultion from full hd to 4k and then returns to full hd when i stop the movie. i guess it should be the same while viewing 4k on kodi.

how do i fix this so i can view 4k movies through kodi.

thanks
Mansoor

Hi Mjacaid.
Exact same problem for me as well. Silent hunter 4k film is showing 4k resolution in Kodi but Samsung 4k tv screen resolution is saying 1920 x 1080. Amazon 4k content says 4k resolution on screen so I know my hdmi is transferring full 4k. Can't work out why my kodi is not showing 4k res on my tv.

You can't sadly. We don't support it on your hardware / software combination.
