I have the problem that playing 4k video on a full hd tv the picture is too dark:
WHen playing the content on a 4k hdr lcd the message comes that hdr content is played. Then the video is bright enough with high contrast.
On a full hd lcd 1080p files are playing well and they are bright enough.
but 4k material ist unwatchable, because it is too dark.
Aswell the brightness setting in kodi does not function at all.
Even disabling the hdr function in the menu does not help.
Kodi 17.6 nov 14 2017
Android 6.01
Does anybody have some ideas?
Your 4K material is almost certainly also HDR (High Dynamic Range - aka PQ HDR10). It's almost certainly playing strangely on a non-HDR set (like almost all Full HD TVs) because there isn't good quality HDR->SDR tone mapping taking place. (It's because the material is HDR, not because it is 4K, that you are probably having issues)
I have no idea how the Mii box and/or Kodi running on it handles tone mapping HDR->SDR conversion - but I suspect that's your issue.
