Whitelist Yes or No?

German

ich habe mit als auch ohne Whitelist Einträge getestet und es hat immer ein Bildwiederholungsfrequenz stattgefunden, jetzt frage ich mich ob wir da überhaupt was eintragen müssen oder nicht…
Es ist halt immer wieder Verwirrend, wenn ich da was eintragen soll, was soll ich dann eintragen, damit es wie vorgesehen funktioniert…
Ich habe SD als auch 720 oder 1080 Videos getestet, bei allen drei war es immer wieder das gleiche verhalten.

Ich habe einen Samsung JS9090

Diese Auflösungen habe ich immer ausgewählt…

3840x2160p 60Hz
3840x2160p 50Hz
3840x2160p 23,98Hz
1920x1080p 60Hz
1920x1080p 50Hz
1920x1080p 23,98Hz
1280x720p 60Hz
1280x720p 50Hz

I have tested with and without whitelist entries and there has always been a repetition frequency, now I wonder if we have to enter something because or not …
It’s always confusing, if I should add something, what should I enter so that it works as intended.
I have tested SD as well as 720 or 1080 videos, with all three it was always the same behavior.

I have always selected these resolutions …
3840x2160p 60Hz
3840x2160p 50Hz
3840x2160p 23,98Hz
1920x1080p 60Hz
1920x1080p 50Hz
1920x1080p 23,98Hz
1280x720p 60Hz
1280x720p 50Hz

I never see much noticable difference so I just leave them all out (no resolutions selected). This should mimic the 'old: way which always worked just fine.

Use Whitelist if you want all movies in native resolution, if you don’t select anything then the playback below 1080p will be upscaled to 1080p, movies above 1080p will be upscaled to 2160p, that is the difference.

Only if GUI resolution is higher :wink:

Yes, I missed something, meaning 1080p GUI.

This thread is the single most informative document in existence concerning the Kodi Whitelist “feature.” Not kidding.

This reply from Fritsch in the Kodi forum is useful too:

Assume the following: You have an Android Box, you use Mediacodec Surface for decoding and its integrated “Scaling algorithm” to e.g. upscale 720p content to a 2160p screen is very bad quality. Then you want 720p (1280x720) videos to switch your TV to 1280x720 cause that way the TV itself will do the upscaling.

So short answer:
If the upscaler of your hw decoder sucks, enable all resolutions that you have videos.
If the quality of your SW upscaler is fine, I’d set kodi to 1080p and above, especially if you run kodi’s gui in 1080p. If you have a very fast system and run kodi’s gui in 2160p with a good upscaler, e.g. DXVA, VAAPI + Lanczos3, only whitelist the 2160p resolutions.
