    problem playing 4k contents from kodi

    Hi
    I need some help with playing 4k streams from kodi. I have Ultimo 4k with latest 5.0.13 vix image installed. Most of the 4k streems in kodi give me blank screen with only audio. some of the streams play video but very patchy, can not see anything at all. what could be the problem. I think its the mediaplayer problem as same streams play well on pc. any ideas what I could do if anything?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    4K boxes need h265 coded 4K content. 4K content in h264 or VP9 is not played.

    ciao

    Hi,
