Hi all
I am running this Netflix Kodi Add-on with a Minix U9-H , Android 6 and Kodi 18.6.
I am pleased to report that with this addon I have manage the box to hardsware decode by in Netflix app choosen 4k HDR stream recieving a 1080p stream of 5.6 mbps in HDR with DD+ sound.
I have activated HEVC/4K/HDR profile and activated Force 2.2 streams and set minimum resolution to 1080p . I can hardly see any differense between streaming the same stream through the Minix with 1080p resolution and my
Panasonic OLED Netflix app with 2160p resolution and 7.3 mbps ( used to be 15.6 mbps before the Covid -19 outbreak )
For example " Our Planet "
The picture is super smooth - No lag or other disruptions. Netflix switch nicely to 24 frames per second.
Now the next step. Force my minix U9-h to recieve a 2160p stream.
To do that I set minimum resolution to 4kUHD.
But. Here is the sad thing.
The stream starts. But picture freezes directly with only the sound rolling in the background. I press O on my keyboard and the Minix reports 3840 x 2160 pixels HW decoded.
I guess it is something in the Netflix stream that causes the Minix U9-H to picture freeze. Not because low performance from the box itself. Because it is not approved hardware from Netflix.
Hopefully in the future you guys find out a trick to walk around this issue.
