The only reason I have the whitelist is to to stop kodi from briefly switching to 25Hz before going to 50Hz every time I change TV channel (with 1080i). Thats another story.
Unless you have a specific use case, I would argue that it is better to clear the white list.
OK, good. That’s a recent change in Leia - to make it behave like Krypton in the absence of a whitelist. Before, it wouldn’t select any resolution that wasn’t on the whitelist. But why it should mistake 4096 for 3840 someone needs to look into. Good spot.
If 4096 resolutios are not selected from the whitelist, all files a played ok.
That is the solution for now.
Can those with 2018 LG TVs give some feedback.
Just to be sure it’s not lost (I added it as edit into my post somewhere above):
Looks like I see terrible lagging (or flickering or what is it) when playing Life Untouched HDR UHD 4K Demo | 4K Media - first 5 seconds camera goes up with tree on the right. The tree itself is flickering a lot (or banding or how the effect is called?) . Both 422 enabled/disabled in attr. I don’t think it was there before. With 422 disabled it plays on 3rd or 4th attempt while with 422 enabled it always plays.
It looks like the move is not fluent and for some reason those branches on tree are “jumping” up and down - like frames are rendered in wrong order.
Other videos are fine (I just tried few another HDR demos)
Just tried it here and I get that jiggering effect. Not massively but noticeable. It’s the same played from Vero as it is played from a USB plugged into the TV.
OK, maybe I did not notice it as I was using these “smart” smooth functions before and I turned all off now. THX Grahamh for testing all of these. You are the best guys.
If you’ve got a 2018 LG OLED TV, can you can deselect the 4096 resoultions from the whitelist and play the troublesome 4KHDR videos.
If you can confirm they can be played ok, I’m sure @sam_nazarko and @grahamh will appreciate the feedback.
I started to experience strange issues related to HDR with 117, I mean it seems that latests kodi leia builds with 117 version does some kind of “non-true-HDR-output”, even if HDR tag is enabled in the display.
