Force resolution change on certain files

Hi there.

Is there a way to make the Vero change resolution to 4K on certain video files?

When i play videos from my surveillance cameras, on my TV, the TV stays stays in 1080p even even though the files are either 25601440 25fps or 26881520 25 fps.

If i change the UI to 4k (3840 × 2160) and play the files, it stays in that resolution as well, and plays fine.

I have set the “Adjust display refresh rate” to On start/stop.

I would like the TV to change to 4K UHD resolution when these files are played, is that possible?

Hardware:
Vero 4K+ directly connected to Panasonic TX-50HX820E.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Media Info for both files.

I haven’t tried it, but does it help if you enable the resolutions whitelist?

(See this article for more info if you aren’t familiar with it).
