Hi,
I know this has been discussed in other threads, but as far as I know no clear answer was given.
When I try to play a 4k movie on my brand new Sony Bravia A80J kodi, for whatever reason downscales it to 1080p, then the TV upscales it back to 4k. Obviously this is not an ideal situation due to the loss of detail in the process.
I know, I know,... it doesn't matter what the Settings section of kodi says, that only refers to the GUI rendering. I fully understand that and that's not a problem for me.
How I test it: I play any 4k movie, then while playing I modify the video settings, and change the View Mode setting from "Normal" to "Original", and voila: I only can see a crop of my 4k movie (a 1920x1080p crop to be precise).
Also, on the white list of resolutions, I only see the 1920x1080p60 option, nothing else.
I have read about people saying that there's some sort of "white list" of applications for Sony that identifies which can access the full list of the TV possible resolutions. Amazon Prime, YouTube, or Netflix are among those.
So, is there any way to include Kodi in that list? If so, how?
Thanks and regards
