I just updated my fire stick TV and the video quality is back to where it should be.

Prior to the update, my mkv movies appeared to look like it was DVD quality. After the update, its back to 1080p goodness

This is such great news!

Now I'll be (im)patiently waiting for my update to arrive....

Downloaded. Much, much better. Thanks Amazon!

I just got an update and blurriness issue is gone after update.
Tested on Kodi Helix and SPMC with popcornmix's 1080test.m2ts

I wonder if games would have behaved similar to XBMC/Kodi in that blurriness department and thats why Amazon issues forth a patch for it? Since games tend to make use of OpenGL just like xbmc/Kodi

Update is now available. Just updated and YES! 720p video problem is gone. Great work!

I can confirm the issue appears to be fixed with the latest Fire TV Stick update. I've posted a before and after comparison image here: http://www.aftvnews.com/xbmc-kodi-upscal...ck-update/

Your AFTVnews post only includes improvement in 720p video, but the issue was also with 1080p video. Both have been improved.

which you prefer Official Kodi or SPMC for this device?

All my tests with old and newest firmware have been with Kodi 14 RC2 and RC3 and it works great. So I guess I'll stick with that once Helix goes final. Unless SPMC has a good deal of tricks under the hood to make things way better.

Now if they could just fix the refresh rate so it doesn't constantly repeat frames on all content.

When set to 1080p@60, this device actually outputs 60.14 fps. It is supposed to output 59.940. Then we would just get the regular 3:2 judder on 23.976 content.

This is an issue even when playing through their native Amazon apps.

Exactly the same as you would do it on an AFTV
