Dear support team, dear users,
I am a hobby photographer and take my pictures with a Canon DSLR that offers 8MPix in medium and 18MPix in high resolution. I use high quality optics that do indeed have enough resolution to use the pixels. For a long time I was missing a way to show the photos to my friends in an adequate manner. Now, some days ago I decided to buy a large TV for that purpose. It soon was clear, that Full HD is only 1.9 MPix and therefore not what I need. 4x is 7.9MPix and that is fine.
I bought a Sony Bravia KD-40X8308C. The system app "Album" shows my photos in 4k and I was happy. For about 10 minutes. The app is buggy and shows the photos in reverse order. It cannot be configured and so on....
After a long search it turned out: Kodi is the only app that might work, but it shrinks my photos down to Full HD.
I searched this forum and I found a lot of threads about the Kodi GUI in 4k and video in 4k but nothing about the slideshow.
My question: is there a Version of Kodi or will there be an update that can show fotos in 4k?
Or is it a question of drivers, settings and so on?
What I have:
Build Kodi 16.1 Git:2016-04-24-f6ceced
OS is Android 5.1.1 API level 22 kernel 3.10.27 (according to the Sony software information this is the newest version)
The Kodi System Information says:
Sreen Resolution 1920x1080@60Hz - Full Screen (AND THIS IS WRONG)
GPU is Mali-T624, OpenGL ES 3.1 by ARM
CPU is ARMv7 MT5890
Can anybody help? Do I need to buy some external streaming box that can do the job via HDMI?
Thanks for your help!
yours
