I'm considering getting the AFTV2 for 4k. I have a 4k TV and was wondering if the 4k content will play with 4k resolution or should I stick with the AFTV1?
I'm not sure there is any 4K content on Kodi ?

There are movies that are 4k Content. Can Kodi output 4k output to the TV through Kodi and play the 4k mkv files? I'm contemplating buying it but am confused.
I have a 4k sony android tv. so not sure if i can install kodi directly on it or will amazon be a better choice. ?
any suggestions?

You can google bigbuckbunny 4k. there are two things to test.
if kodi can play 4k and then second does it output native 4k resolution.
Can someone help who already know. I'm contemplating getting the nvidia shield.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here, the 4K content you have directed me to is just on Youtube which your Sony tv should be able to play in 4K from the Youtube app on the tv, you were asking if Kodi can output 4K on the Fire tv. If you point me in the direction of any 4K content on Kodi I will try it for you.

Gauduchon. Any 4k Content available on the web can be a test factor. I don't think we are allowed to post live links for media. Question is.
1. While using Kodi, does the aftv2 output 4k
2. While using kodi, if we play a 4k file can kodi handle it with the new kodi as when I tried a sample file it stuttered. but then that was one of the only file i had.
It doesn't appear that any old app can output 4K. http://www.aftvnews.com/4k-video-output-not-available-to-fire-tv-app-developers/
Aftvnews this is precisely the answer I was looking for. I've gotten the nvidia shield. Do you know if that will work ?
Some of my videos are recorded with my Hauppauge HD PVR and/or my Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder, both of which give me 1080i video files. Playback with my first gen Fire TV and Fire TV Sticks via Kodi and Plex have been fine.
I had added a 2nd gen Fire TV recently, and last night tried to watch a recording (1080i) and the video was all garbled (see if THIS LINK works). It didn't matter if I used Kodi or Plex, it looked the same. I tried tweaking some settings in Kodi around deinterlacing which had no effect. Using VideoRedo to "edit" the video and save, forcing it to re-encode and de-interlace, the output video which is progressive, while 90% of the original size, plays fine on the 2nd Gen Fire TV.
So, is there anyway to overcome this issue on the 2nd gen Fire TV? or am I forced to re-encode all my interlaced video files?
Hello, I have just purchased a new Amazon Fire TV 4K box with the intention of running Kodi in 4K but I have only just realised that 4K mode is only enabled when watching 4K content in Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Is there any way at all that I can force enable the 4K resolution at all times?
Thanks

With Kodi no you can't, but MrMc has 4k support but no addon support, and SPMC has a test build out now with 4k support. Hope this helps.
Even if you enable 4k resolution you won't get it unless it's 4k content... If have addon to watch 4k content in kodi it will automatically display it.
Is there a way to change the Pixel Ratio of video playback across the board, on the Fire TV Stick 2 through an ADB command?
It seems like 480p mode doesn't exist in the Fire TV Stick 2 after a recent update, it won't even show up in the hidden display option, so 16:9 appears all squished up when using an HDMI to Composite Convert to a 27" CRT TV, the only way I can change the pixel ratio, is when I use Kodi, but i have to load Kodi every time when watching Twitch streams, in Kodi I adjust the pixel ratio to about 1:41 in order to letterbox the 16:9 twitch streams.
So if there is some command to adjust the pixel ratio via ADB, it would help in my situation, I just need to adjust the pixel ratio, so that 16:9 videos is displayed in letterbox format on a 4:3 TV.
Hi there!
I have a Fire TV Stick 4K with an debloated ROM running and hooked up to my older 4K TV.
It's a Sony 55XD85 with HDR10 signal support but I don't like how Netflix HDR looks on this TV.
Fire TV options do not work to get rid of HDR output and TV settings same (it's an ATV Generation 1 TV but global disable possibility is only available in ATV 2).
So do you know if it's possible to forbid (Netflix) HDR output Android-sided or is this not possible because of HDCP or similar?
I had a look in "/sys/class/graphics/fd0" but didn't see anything HDR related.
Thanks,
Nico
