I have some questions maybe someone can help out with.
I have a 4K tv and reciever (Marantz 7011). What settings do i need to do to have the Vero upscale the material to 4K?
Mostly all movies seems way to dark, almost like the colorspace is wrong or something. Adjusting contrast and brighness does nothing at all. Any ideas?
The subtitles (srt) looks really bad. They are extreamly rought. What i mean is that my 8 year old Xtreamer seems to smoother theese alot better (anti aliasing?). Is there any way to improve? Even my children noticed this and then itâs really bad.
Ok, for me this sounds strange considering the Vero 4K has modern hardware and is made for playback and HW accelerating playback etc. Or is it current software that is the limit?
I think Vero4k actually upscales video material by default if it gets 4k capability from the TV. You have to connect the TV and receiver in the right order for vero to read its EDID (and that may be why you are getting dark pictures). Somewhere in here thereâs a thread from people asking for an option to send the native resolution to the display to let the display do the upscaling because they think the TV does a better job.
Settings-System-Display-Resolution affects only the GUI whih has been designed for 1920x1080.
My experience exactly. The scaler of the TV is optimized for the TV so it pulls out all sorts of tricks to âenhanceâ the image to give the best result on your TV. This would not be the case of the Vero4K scaler as it has to do this âgenericlyâ.
Thanks for your reply @grahamh. However if i play a file that is 1080p native the tv indicates this and if i play a 4k file the tv switchs fine to this resolution also. However it the Vero 4K dont by default upscale the 1080p to 4K. Not sure i have seen any setting for this? Regarding the dark scenes in all movies im not sure what to do about because even brightness and contrast dont change anyting.
Some tip for the jaggy .srt text files? Would be great to have some anti aliasing on those
No 4K/HDR here (yet). This is based on my experience with SD content.
Edit:
Thereâs a reason I still have no HDR/4K; itâs all new and every manufacturer seems to have itâs own sets of rules⌠and youâre doing all the testing for me
Well you might want to read this post where people even ask @sam_nazarko to disable the upscaling from SD to HD that OSMC currently does. So seems there are many people that believe into their TVâs upscaler
Check what (if any) picture mode is set on the Marantz, some definitely crush blacks more than others.
Picture mode is under Settings -> Video -> Picture adjust.
Also cant get the nfs working. I have the server shown there and also the main folder but i cant browse to any subfolder? Does the Vero support the nfs v4 ? I have set in my synology map all users to admin in the Squash setting. Tried also in the synology to set âstandard unix rightsâ on and off but no difference.
Not sure what this means âunder the hoodâ. If you are sharing an ext4 formatted directory and you make sure all directories in it are read/write to everyone then you should be good. @JimKnopf has a Synology and is good with these things.
Thanks a lot. However i really thought it was some simple setting in the GUI. I mean, i can access from both my phone and my windows pc and xtreamer but not the vero without some commandline stuff
I remember there was some strange behavior of my Synology since some configuration changes went only active after I rebooted the NAS. Although in the Synology help mentioned, there was no need for me to touch anything in imapd.conf on the Vero 4k.
This works fine with the Vero 4k in the OSMC GUI as well in the /etc/fstab when mounting from the OS:
Thanks for the pics, i changed the settings accordingly. However i still under nfs cant browse any folder. I can find the 193.168.0.193/Filmer but i cant browse under there?
