    Problem playing 4K movies shot with Nexus 6P

    Hi

    My box doesn't seem to be able to play 4K videos that were shot with my Nexus 6p. It can only play the audio, but no video.
    Any idea if this can be fixed?
    It has the latest Openvix image and 1TB internal HDD.

    Many thanks in advance.

    What is your setup please? You have a 4K TV along with your Mut@nt HD51? What are your video settings on the Mut@nt? What video file is it?

    Hi,
    it looks like Broadcom does not play 4K with h264 codec (at least the VUs do not) and I think your Nexus records in h264.

    ciao
