Videos from my new phone do not change the resolution/fps of the TV. This is happening only when I try to play these videos, which are taken at 4K/60fps. Resolution/fps stay the same as whatever I have in Settings > System > Display (which is 1080p/60).
However, as the video plays I can select and switch to the correct resolution/fps in Video settings > Select resolution onscreen menu, because I have whitelisted all the 2160p modes.
Videos from other devices (also 4K) do change the resolution automatically, as expected.
I have tried every possible setting, as well as the recommended ones, updated CoreELEC/Kodi but the problem isn’t solved. Can you help?
Why does it have to be .avi?
I also tried h264 video, same behavior.
Please see paste.coreelec.org/tzm6wO
The last video is from my old phone (.mp4 h265) and resolution/refresh rate change as normal.
I also tried your last suggestion to remove all whitelist entries. Still the same problem…
At least with the whitelist I can Select resolution from the onscreen menu and then enter 2160p/60. But it should change automatically…
Do you enable in Settings/Player/Playback → Adjust display refresh rate => On start/stop ?
I have this option on, and all resolutions whitelisted. This way on my N2 Kodi sends out to TV original file resolution and also switches to original file framerate.
Edit: forgot to mention, I keep my GUI resolution at 3084x2160 at 59.54…
I might have missed it, but did you send a link with that specific video, or a small clip for testing purpose?
There is a difference in frame rates between tested videos; fps: 60.195 vs fps: 59.940.
Maybe the frame rate 60.195 does not satisfy Kodi’s “WHITELIST - *Searching for an exact resolution with an exact refresh rate” condition so you end up with 1920x1080 @ 59.94
I would be happy to do so, because I really believe this is something that devs should take a look into.
I don’t think there is something wrong on my end.
Can you please point me as to how/where can I send a testing clip?
Also I tried to remove everything from whitelist as @Portisch suggested but then everything plays at whatever the GUI is set to.
Please backup if you want your current setup and try with a clean build. You must have logs without banned repo/addons if you want support. Until then no support is given.
Ok, I just did a fresh installation of stable (Nexus) and then updated to latest nightly in order to post the log. paste.coreelec.org/pGjnEV
I played 4 videos. The first one changes the resolution/refresh rate as expected.
The other three show the problem. Resolution and refresh rate remain the same as the GUI’s.
In your log it shows the system trying to match the resolution/refresh rate of your videos to the one in the whitelist and finding none. Those are abnormal refresh rates it seems. If you want to provide some short samples we can try in our side. Also, if you can, provide a log with Gui set to 1080p and no whitelist settings with the same videos.
