Hi,
I am running coreelec on X96 Air which comes with a 4K@60Hz output but my TV only supports up to 4K@30. Openelec kodi detects the 4K@30 resolution that my TV supports, but when I play 4K@30 media the kodi only switches refresh rate but keeps resolution at 1080p.
I also tried switching the resolution from Settings > System Settings > Display to 4K@30. When I try that my TV reports “no signal” and eventually kodi goes back to 1080p. So it seems like kodi is detecting 4K@30, but not able to set it. What I find interesting is that when the X96 Air boots up, it actually starts with 4K@30 when the X96 Air splash screen shows up. But as soon as coreelec starts booting it switches to 1080p. Here is what I thought might be relevant log from dmesg.
