Is Is Possible to Have 2 Resolutions in 1 Video?

Hi. I was playing a demo video and after a few seconds the TV would lose signal and regain it after a few seconds. Always at the same part of the video. Then I notice the video starts at 1080p and then after the TV regains its signal, it would switch to 4K.

Can you take a look at it please and let me know if that’s the case?

Some videos are like this since Kodi 18.4. We are tracking down the cause.

If it helps, I’m uploading the file I’m talking about.

And if it also helps, I turned off the “auto adjust refresh rate” and the issue went away.

@grahamh You’re correct. Reverting back to 2019.07-1 fixes the problem :smile: thanks!

Do we know if this bug is on Kodi’s side or OSMC’s side? Should I post this issue on Kodi’s forum instead?

We’re still looking in to this.
