    Has anyone downloaded any 4k contect and tried to see if any 4k enigma 2 receiver will play it. It would be surprising that none of them can play any files that in 2160p resolution ?

    It would also be surprising if it can not play any iptv channels in 4k. Surely these receivers surpass android boxes that say it can play 4k?

    Hi,
    as I said my Solo4K and Ultimo4K play a lot of HEVC (h265) files. They do not play all HDR/VP9 files. They do not play 4K h264 at all. This behavior is more or less common to all current STBs.

    It’s a program you have to download and install on your Windows pc. Once running it gives you all the tech specs of the video files.

    My Mutant HD51 plays 4k films within Stalker-QT with player as GST or EXTplayer, not had one be black screen or issues yet.

    Have zero clue on size or codecs, as of course not "true 4k" in terms of a direct rip etc

    So does it play any of your films natively?

    Hi Guys

    Just wanted to update you guys on this issue.
    So i purchased a HD51 a few weeks ago and i love it. Very snappy quick box. Now in regards to my 4k content stuff. I was pleasantly surprised that i got picture on my ultra HD content. Now it plays fine most of the time but a few scenes, it plays back really poorly, really choppy picture, the sound is cutting out and picture is jerking. After that scene finished it cleared up and was playing perfectly again. I thought that maybe the file was dodgy so i transferred it to a portable hardrive and plugged it straight into my LG tv and played it back there and it was smooth on that scene where it was choppy. That got me to think maybe the hardrive in my HD51 was not fast enough to play, so i insert my portable hardrive into the HD51 and the same thing happened. So it was not the hardrive. I then thought maybe my HDMI cable is slow. So i bought a 4k compatible HDMI cable

    here is the link
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Syncwire-...72.m2749.l2649

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Syncwire-...72.m2749.l2649

    I thought this would maybe playback everything smoothly, but again it was choppy. So maybe the box is not powerful enough to play 4k content. I was watching plannet earth 2 and blue plannet in 2160p resolution. I really thought that the receiver would play these files esp with the file being the correct codec and everything. I have yet to try and watch a film but the same thing would happen.

    I just want to try find out what is causing this. It kinda seems to be on scenes where there is a lot of movement. For example, it was an a scene where there were million of locusts flying across this huge field. It seemed to jerk quite whenever this moment came. Is it the receiver, HDMI or hardrive?
    Can not put my finger on it

    If you look at the settings for a THX certified display, you will find all these gimmicks are turned off.

    Ok will look at this when i get home..But strange thing is that it plays back perfectly when i directly plug the portable hardrive. So that leads me to think the receiver is just not capable enough. Is it the chip? Ram? Would love to know if another receiver would be able to play it or its just not going to work with any of them.
