There are a few 4k capable boxes out there plus PCs that are 4k ready.
Will Kodi 15 final be able to support 4k output?

Thanks

Kodi already supports 4K output.

Thats strange, I got a 4k android box which is set to 4k output but in Kodi 15 beta 1 the resolution setting is blacked out.
It also plays back H256 1080 files choppy even though the gpu supports hardware acceleration.

[DJ_Izumi]

Sounds like an issue with supporting the specific box.

Some Android SOCs might not have 4k support yet. What box do you have?

[Nekromantik]

Its the Himedia Q5 2.
It does have 4k support as its built in player can play back 4k fine.

So what resolution is it running at?

[Nekromantik]

The HiMedia launcher is running at 4k.
Kodi reports 1080p and is greyed out in settings.

[Ned Scott]

Kodi does not currently have 4k support for Himedia hardware.

[Nekromantik]

Is it planned in the future?

PR7240 could solve your issue. It should be part of next v15 beta release

try this one

and report the results

[Nekromantik]

Tried that. Kodi GUI now renders at 4k correctly.
However still cant get refresh rate switching working.
Guess my SoC is not fully implemented as it plays h265 files fine but wont switch to 24hz.

[Martijn]

Refresh rate switching is not included. From now on you can install new nightly builds as 4k has been merged
