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 ?

So Ive looked around for apps providing true 4k content at 3840 X 2160 resolution. I know there used to be an addon from the pipccan repo but it appears to have lost support and no longer links to any actual content. I finally have a 4K TV and replaced my 1st gen FTV with a 2nd gen, so im pretty bummed out about not finding any UHD Kodi content yet. Prime video doesnt offer alot, and Transparent isnt really my cup of tea.
Am I missing something guys? Are there other apps that stream UHD content? web searches turn up nothing but the one app. Thanks for any suggestions!
Amazon still has not opened up their APK for other developer apps to play 4K content .. Will need to wait a little longer.

Anyone have suggestions for 4K Video streaming services or purchased downloads on this device? I've read that PlayStation Video has 4K content but believe it's only for TV's.

Not until Android supports it, which is when Marshmallow arrives and services like Netflix updates their apps to make 4k viewable on mobile devices (hopefully).
Anybody try this:

I don't have Z5 premium yet so I can't try it myself.
I have a seiki SE39UA01UK it says it supports 4k at 30hz
Does the new Ftv2 4k work with this TV thanks.
And is there a way to make the Ftv gen 1 to output 4k?
Or have any suggestions for a raspberry pi that would work with my TV
Thanks

-No, our tvs do not support HDCP 2.2. Amazon Video or Netflix won't stream in 4k.
-No.
-I'm not familiar with PI set ups so I can't answer that question.

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.
Hi!
Does anybody knows how to play 4k files from usb in 4k? Cannot find anything in the web, just 1 year old posts that it doesn't work.
Thanks!
