Hello! By default, the TV-box has FullHD resolution. In the HDMI settings, I can change this, but this will not change the basic resolution. Geekbench and others claim that the screen resolution is 1080. How to set UltraHD by default? What do I need to do to play YouTube 2160p from TV-box?
Not sure if this helps you rest assure....... My X9S is manually set to 2160p 60Hz, ZDMC/Kodi confirms it in the System info tab, but Geekbench 4 says its 1080p! Not sure what it means, but I have a feeling that either Geekbench 4 is not able to handle 2160p, or not able to report it properly. I know the X9S output is really 2160p, because I watch stunning 4K demo videos and you can really tell the difference in resolution. On the other hand, even though the HDMI is manually set to 2160p, not sure if the Apps can override that to a lower resolution for the duration of that active App. Update..... I use the browser to view sony and samsung 4k video from youtube with no issue....of course, you have to manually set the quality to 2160p within youtube. Also, you may need to set the browser to "request desktop format"
Thanks! I know about this workaround. The reason in the system parameters of firmware X9S - the basic resolution is set to 1080. Geekbench and YouTube (app) through the Android API reads the system parameter and sets the maximum resolution to 1080p, despite the fact that the HDMI parameter is set to 2160p. I would like comments from developers. Thanks in advance!
If you don't use HDMI-in can try to set wm to 3840x2160 via adb I didn't check if all apps work proper. Code: adb connect <ip_player> wm size 3840x2160 wm density 480 rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.youtube reboot Restore to normal wm size & density Code: adb connect <ip_player> wm size reset wm density reset reboot
Code: wm size Physical size: 1920x1080 Override size: 3840x2160 wm density Physical density: 240 Override density: 480 Unfortunately, this method slows down the GUI main menu and does`t affect the YouTube for Android TV.
YouTube for Android TV is limited on Google site/firmware for 1080p/MP4 and 720p60/VP9 for RTD1295 device. Are only few device, running certificate Android TV, DRM L1 witch support YouTube for Android TV with 4K streaming.
