moozart 3 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello all, I have a Mi Box S running Pie with latest client and server. I noticed that display mode cannot go over 1080p60hz despite streaming a 4K movie, and 2160p is not in the list for selection. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Does your TV support 4K? Is it hooked up with an appropriate cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moozart 3 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi ebr, Yes my tv is 4K and at the info box it shows the device is connected @ 2160p60hz on HDMI1 - the same config my UI is set on Mi Box S. No, that is only for built-in Android TVs. Does your TV support 4K? Is it hooked up with an appropriate cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I noticed that display mode cannot go over 1080p60hz What, exactly, are you referring to here? Where are you seeing this limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moozart 3 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) What, exactly, are you referring to here? Where are you seeing this limit?Open emby, pick something and play. Streaming info says 2160p HEVC (direct) Playback info says display mode 1080p. So why I see display mode of 1080p since UI ( Android prefs) and content is 4K. Ps: on display mode menu it won't let me adjust higher than 1080p. Screenshot is now attached. Edited May 31, 2020 by moozart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg8 18 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I get the same issue as above using a vodafone tv android box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Okay, I guess it is the same issue where that reports the UI resolution instead of the video one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the ShieldTV is the exception to the rule rather than TV's with built-in AndroidTV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moozart 3 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Okay, I guess it is the same issue where that reports the UI resolution instead of the video one. But my UI is set to 2160p as well. Unless Android TV is somehow upscaling it from 1080p. I don't know. Anyway, One could assume the video itself is not downscaled, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, One could assume the video itself is not downscaled, right? The video is properly displayed in 4K. The Android TV UI only renders in 1080.

shpankey 7 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Same exact issue. LG CX 4k TV with latest Shield TV OS. Display Mode for me shows 1080p and streaming info shows 4k. Really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
