My image viewer is in low resolution

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
109

Thanks Sam and darwindesign, I read something but can’t remember the answer, Their isn’t an osmc load version that V uses to load onto a Vero4K+ as it not backwards compatible-Correct. Just thinking if I could load it just to see that quality of the picture viewer part only? I notice the basic Sony android TV media player pictures are also brighter and better colour and contrast as well as 4K but I have no file protection to give my clients a usb stick.

See my new topic post about the V being able to help sort this out by pointing at a web page .
Not sure which category to use so started with V help and support. Shift it as needed or do i have to do that. Sorry a newby in online things

4K+ won’t have the resources to handle a proper 4K framebuffer.

We’ve listened, and as promised @tanio99 has integrated this.

Unfortunately the Vero 4K + can’t perform well with a 4K GUI, but Vero V can handle this comfortably. We still don’t recommend a 4K UI set as default yet due to some issues with Kodi’s video whitelisting configuration, but you should now be able to see photos and the UI at a true 4K resolution.

We would appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Run the following command to add the staging repository:
    echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
  3. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  4. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.

This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.

Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.

Cheers

Sam
