Sports with lots of motion would be the best test I suppose, or scrolling News tickers.
There seems to be a LOT of confusion around deinterlacing and what works properly on the 4K Stick.

Sure - just doing a system update on my Fire TV 4K Stick.
Which version of Kodi should I side load for the most useful testing?

I updated to Kodi 18.2 and the flickering subtitles of the DVDs was resolved. Playback of DVDs was still jumpy and sometimes with decoding artifacts. After a bit of research, I found this ticket: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/15405 which seemed to describe my problem -- a heated debate derailed the technical information a bit. Used this information to review this thread and some posts (such as https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2794828 ) led me to test MediaCodec.
MediaCodec and MediaCodecSurface being disabled resolved the visual issues with DVDs -- but these need to be enabled for other videos. It is interesting that the few MPEG2 BluRays I have do not seem to suffer from the MPEG2 problems that the DVDs have (maybe I should revisit these more closely)
I am gonna try this:

and report back. I'm not familiar enough with the code to know if that is what hits this escape hatch: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/aba6aa...c.cpp#L390

I have the Ugreen USB gigabit adapter mentioned many times in this thread. I have the power adapter as well, and an OTG cable. I've hooked everything up, but the Fire TV doesn't indicate it's on a wired network, and the port on my switch doesn't light up to indicate traffic.
I have it connected as:
Cat 6 cable from my ethernet switch to the Ugreen ethernet input port (and verified the Ugreen works by trying it with a laptop)
Ugreen USB dongle into the OTG cable USB female port
Power adapter into Ugreen power port
Amazon power adapter into OTG female micro USB port
OTG male micro USB dongle into Fire TV
Fire TV into receiver HDMI port (I can see it on my TV)
I've tried two different brands of OTG cable and two different power adapters for the Ugreen module. As far as I can tell, all my cables, the Ugreen, and my switch work. Yet still the Fire TV doesn't indicate it's wired.
Is there some setting or process I need to follow to get it wired? As it is, I can't watch 4K material due to being only on wireless.

All played the clip smoothly, w/o stutters (all my players are wired, playing over SMB or mounted shares), but only the Odroid N2 got my projector to engage HLG HDR mode. Colors looked great, while washed out as expected on the other players. I also have a couple of VP9 Profile 2 HLG videos and none of the players enable HLG HDR mode for them. Looks like only HEVC HLG works w/N2, not VP9.
I'm surprised why Fire TV 4K Stick won't engage HLG HDR mode w/local files via Kodi as both Smart YouTube TV and the new official YT app do.
BTW, what drone/camera combo do you have? Nice 4K PQ.
