Okay, I implemented the above: https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/commit/4...26f9ee7e80
Only thing, that we need to think about: Do we trust the 4k TV to do the 1080p to 3840 upscaling better than us? Cause in current code 1080 is handled by the TV, we only switch up if source material is larger.
Advantages:
- Low gpu load (TV is upscaling)
Disadvantage:
- if TV upscaling quality sucks, the 1080p movie sucks, workaround: Buy a new TV - cause with 1080i50 LiveTV being standard, a bad TV scaler would really sucks for all usecases.
