What classifies as 4K under the video filter?

I have  a movie from 1981 with a resolution of 2880x2160 according to emby and VLC.   I would consider it to be 4k  as it's 2160p but it doesn't show up when I filter for 4k movies.  What is the criteria that determines if a movie is 4k or not?

The width.  The problem here is the aspect is very odd for 4K material.  We should probably take into account the width and height in this determination.

I didn't realize that Emby used width.  I would think that height would be preferred if you were going to use one.  Seems like the vertical resolution is more indicative of format if you had to use one.

 

I haven't run in to this since I don't normally check what Emby is recognizing formats as.

With the most common modern aspect ratios (1.85, 2.35, etc) it is the height that varies, not the width.  That falls down with 4:3 content so we really should be checking both.

The reason I noticed was I was checking what I had in 4k to update the rest of my library and I figured the 4k filter would be the easiest way.    It gets a little weirder   If you click the link to the movie and it opens that movies page up with the media info it says  under video  - Title   4k HEVC

 

Just randomly checking I found another example  Movie from 2015 Media Info lists -resolution of 3600x2160  Aspect of 5:3  Title says 4K HEVC but it's not caught by the filter.

We'll look at improving this. Thanks for the feedback.
