@wesk05 Thanks for the tip on the splitter. 4K looks like more trouble than feature currently

4k is working great for me with kodi and the nvidia shield. First I didn't have the resolution / frame rate switching but this was because it wasn't connected to my HDMI MHL port. Since then it works flawless and switches from 4k@60hz to 1080@24hz on the fly.

The HDMI MHL (For me HDMI3) port is the only one that supported the HDCP 2.2 and made all features work.

I have a Samsung UE48H7500 a european 2014 model.

Only issue that I still have is the one with the context menu because of the less number of buttons on the remote

Interesting....... I have a Samsung JS8500 that has four HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 ports only and kodi always handshakes to 4k@60hz until I put a 1080p HDMI splitter in the path (to force 1080p since the Samsung had better scaling).

Questions:-

1. Are you using the out of the box Kodi from Google play?
- Which version of Kodi are you running? Using the V1.4 firmware on the shield (I've stayed with V1.3 for now)
2. Any special settings you had to change on Kodi/Shield/Samsung TV?

Pretty much all my content is 1080p so forcing the 1080p mode is fine for now; but it would be nice if picture viewing etc would use the 4k output etc. Meaning I would very much like to get this auto switching working at my end as well!

I'm using the out of the box HDMI cable from NVIDIA and the default Kodi available on the PlayStore. The only setting that I changed is settings -> video -> playback -> adjust display refresh rate. Nothing changed on the TV. Do you have 4k support in Netflix?

1.4 update killed the 24hz option for me and it didn't switch anymore. TVHZ only gave me 50 and 60hz option. Unlocked the bootloader and downgraded back to 1.3. Reinstalled Kodi from the store and everything worked again.
